I started with a progressive, but it is easier if you start with a single stage to get familiar with the basics of reloading. I say this because I had to play catch-up when I started with a progressive and had all kinds of questions and problems because I was a beginner, if you know somebody that can help you it would be easier, however if you don't it will probably be trail and error for you when you get started. but you will survive most likely, just read your load books and read them again, use safety and wear safety glasses, you are already choosing a good company in my opinion. the 550 is good and the carbine dies are the best IMO, but go with the XL650, it will load a lot of rounds, that's what I use and its great.
