Lots of good advice here.
I personally started on a 550. Then to save a mess I picked up a cheap lee ”c” single stage. I used it for decamping, trimming, swaging, and sizing. Decided it wasn’t quite strong enough for that so I picked up a lee “closed loop” single stage.
So the little lee is just my universal deprimer now. Then I wet tumble. Then use the bigger lee to swage, size, and trim. Then another quick tumble to remove remove lube. Then onto the Dillon for priming, powder, seating and crimp.
I have found the Dillon does a fine job with consistency for my .223 reloads but I do use the single stage for my .308 “precision” rounds.
I’m just over the hill in Sylva if you get stuck somewhere. Feel free to it me up.
