Looks good to me the only thing if you are dead set on a turret press I suggest that you get the classic turret press kit instead. I know you are on a budget but the classic turret would be a much better investment in the long run, the base and handle of the deluxe turret are cast aluminum and the linkage is stamped steel just not made to last IMO. The only down side to the classic turret kit is that it doesnt come with the cutter and lock stud and chamfer tool but you can have them for 5 bucks. also dont forget the caliber specific case trimmer/gauge that is needed to trim cases with the cutter and lock stud.

you dont really need the universal shell holder set where if you use lee dies they come with the shell holder for the caliber. Also dont forget case lube, I reccomend rcbs' case lube kit its 16.99 at cabelas. you could also do away with the nosler book its not a necissary book for a beginner, Lymans load book or speers are truly better books for beginners. the nosler book doesnt have much of basic info you will need to learn the ropes of reloading. speer and lyman books go into great detail and are full of info a beginer really needs.

You should also consider a case tumbler and use with a good case polish and corn cob media. otherwise you will be cleaning caes by hand and honestly its a PITA. hope this helps Im sure if I forgot anything someone else will catch it.
