Since you have a 550 Dillon, go on their website and they have a video that I believe is free for all 550 owners! It covers everything step by step on the setup and reloading process.
Above comments are good. Go to gun shows or on Ebay for buying the misc stuff. Pick up the tumbling media at the gun shows to save on postage and buy a used tumbler, and get a big one.
Instead of getting a single stage press to learn with, do as Jim mentions above and do it one cartridge at a time, not fill every slot. Deprime each case, then resize and so on to get used to it. The 550 can be used as a single press then as you get used to it start doing more with it.
