I think buying a progressive machine is fine for a beginner .../ but yes, any loader needs to understand each and every step on their press. But I don't blame this poster for saying he doesn't want a single stage ...and if he approaches this part of the hobby correctly - a progressive press for a beginner is not a problem.
Dillon SDB is a good press ( but it uses a proprietary sized die that is unique to that press vs industry standard dies) .... the Dillon 650 is a better press ( primarily because it has a "powder check" option ) ...so you run way less potential for a squib or an overcharged round. Dillon 650 uses standard industry sized dies.
Dillon 650 will handle 9mm and .223 ...and do both, very very well - in my opinion.
Hornady LNL is another good press - roughly equivalent to the Dillon 650.
