About the only thing I can add to your list is to buy a higher quality scale, like a Lyman 505. The Lee Safety Scale really leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't worry about the shell holder kit, Lee dies come with shell holders. Definitely get a tumbler and if your really only planning on loading for rifle than I also recommend the single stage press. Contrary to what most on the board will tell you, Lee makes a quality product at an affordable price, are they the highest quality, no but plenty good for starting out with. After you've been loading for a while you see what works for you and what don't. I started with a Lee turret press kit purchased off of Ebay. While I have upgraded many things I still use my Lee for loading pistol regularly. Don't even bother using the autodisk for rifle charges. As far as a manual goes there are so many, I'd suggest the Speer or Lyman manuals, they tend to give load data for more powders than the others, or like you said the USA load books include data from most of the bullet/powder manufacturers but the data is somewhat dated. If your on that tight of a budget I'd suggest ordering from the website, cause once your in there you'll want to spend much more. Then again the deer room is worth the trip alone. As long as your not ordering powder/primers you don't pay a hazmat fee with shipping. I'd suggest get your shopping list finalized and then comparison shop Cabelas, Midway, etc.
