I don't think you need to fool around with a single stage....you can learn on a good progressive ...

In any loading process - you need attention to detail, follow the manuals for recipes and for your press...and thoroughly understand each and every step the press is doing.

I would recommend a progressive press that auto indexes...for handgun calibers only a Dillon SDB is a good press....if you want to upgrade a little then go with the Dillon 650 or the Hornaday LNL ( they are comparable in quality in my view). Dillon 650 or LNL will handle most rifle calibers too...
