Using a bulk film loader would be better once you become more familiar with
loading a film spiral for film processing.

I concur. For somebody just getting started in darkroom work, it's
probably best to begin with pre-rolled film. It is admittedly more
expensive in the long run, but there's enough to learn about processing
film without complicating matters from the start with the bulk-loading
step. If you (the OP, that is) are concerned about cost, you can put bulk
loading high on your list of priorities, but AFTER you've mastered loading
film on a developing spool and processing it.
