You said you want to load both pistol and rifle. To stay within your budget you will probably be best off with the Lee Classic Turret. Check to see if you can find one in a kit. That will give you most of what you need and possibly everything for the beginning except dies and something to clean the brass with. There are plenty of ways to clean brass from cheap to expensive. Just depends on your available time and how involved you want to get. Lee dies probably will work as well. Get carbide dies and I suggest getting the 4 die sets for pistol. I don't think you will find any carbide rifle dies. A good manual is one thing to add to the list.
