For several years and thousands of rifle and pistol rounds, I used a hand-press (Lyman). Lee makes this one:

Seems to me, I've seen the Lee Loaders going for $30 or so, but you'll likely find one collecting dust for much less.
Both presses keep things very inexpensive and allow use out on the range, if needed.
You've likely seen the video:

You can reload with the scooper, but you won't be as precise and consistent as with a powder measurer. You can make your own scooper for specific powders and charges, but you'll still have to have a scale to establish your loads.
Calipers and a micrometer are very useful, but the Lee Loader can function acceptably w/o them.
The hand press will require the use of a die set and calipers, but you can charge with a scoop with that, too.
Granted, all this incidentals add up, but look for used gear at gunshops, online, gun club tag sales, etc. It's out there.
