Do yourself a favor and buy a progressive for loading pistol. It comes down to, do you want to spend all your time at the bench, or at the range? As to the original question. If you have half a brain and can use it (judging from your screen name, this shouldn't be an issue), starting with a progressive isn't a problem, it's a blessing . After taking advice from several experienced loaders, I started with the Dillon RL 550B right off the bat. Am I glad I did. You can load a single round at a time (this is what you do when setting up a round). I also reload rifle with the 550. Go for it. Dillon is a great press with a life time warrantee
