The RCBS gear seems to be a good middle ground but all brand kits seem to have a lot of stuff in the kits that isn't really necessary or would be upgraded shortly and i am wondering if it would be better to buy the individual pieces needed rather than a kit.

Greetings @recce,
Getting the kit is one part but just as important is learning the processes needed. The .223 is straight forward enough but there are some difficult bits in case sizing for the 6.5x55. Basically the US dies set the shoulder back too far for decent case life and you will need someone to help you set up your die to prevent this. Hornady offers a headspace comparator kit to help with this. South Waikato and the wider local area seems to be a hotbed of target shooting so you should be able to find someone to help. Otherwise PM me and I can explain the process.
GPM.
