J.R. RCBS makes one press that will load rifle, pistol and shotgun. It is called the RCBS Reloaders Special-5 Press. In Huntingtons catalog it is 109.95 plus shipping. No dies or shell holder comes with this press. I don't have any experience with this machine, I just acknowledge its existance. You can contact Huntingtons at (www.huntingtons.com)
For the amount of reloading you say you want to do, it seems to me that you could get away with a single stage press. I use a RockChucker, and taking my sweet time, I can load up 70 rounds in about one and a half hours. But then I've had a lot of practice.

Dillons are nice, no question about it, but setting up one does take a little bit of mechanical ability, and they are a bit more expensive. JMHO.
