Once you have your manual and have read it front to back several time, try to locate someone local to mentor you. Your learning curve will be a lot faster.
I see no problem with starting with a AP , since most all can be used as a single stage press. All you do is insert 1 die and feed 1 piece of brass at a time. As you get more comfortable with the process add dies, still running 1 piece of brass. Then progress to full AP once your comfortable and everything is adjusted as it needs be. You will have a few tweaks to make once all stations are full.
Like said this is not a really good time to get in due to availability of primer, and powder. Things are come back but it will probably be close to another year before every thing starts leveling out.
