I don't see a lot of case stretching with my light 150grn loads now, and I only neck size, since I shoot them in my 03A3, would it be feasible to forego most of the extra case prep, and use my neck sizing die to really speed it up? or would this be inviting disaster?

It's just money, if you want to save it you can. I have "trimmed" cases with a belt sander when I needed to for a run of one of my belt fed 308's and it still was accurate. I wouldn't use that method normally but it worked and was actually pretty accurate.
I reload 223 on a Dillon 650. I do all my de-priming, sizing and trimming on one tool head. I then swage military brass with a Dillon swager. The second tool head is for priming, charging, seating and crimping. The process goes pretty fast, I do have to stop and refill the case feeder, primers and powder.
