I started off on a Dillon 550b, never had one problem.

You can load one round at a time on it if you want, but you will never be able to load progressively on a single stager. The trickiest thing about reloading is getting the dies set up properly and there is no difference on how you set the dies between the two types.

So yes, a 550 would be an awesome machine to start out on.
