Yes, start with a single stage. The Lee Anniversary kit comes to mind. It even comes with a decent reloading handbook. It's not like the single stage press will be wasted once you "graduate" to a progressive. You'll find yourself constantly using it for the odd caliber you don't load in volume, a special crimp die, universal decapping die, primer pocket swager, etc, etc, etc.

Looking back, the only thing I don't still use from my anniversary kit is the powder scale. It's a good enough scale, but I prefer the speed of my PACT BBK.
