I got most of my stuff for .223 volume loading yesterday, and I have a couple questions about the trimmer and/or size/trim die.
The directions for the trimmer make it sound like the trim die is a sizer too.
This makes no sense to me. There is obviously no decapper and expander, so if there is a ding in the case mouth and you are trying to FL resize with this die, it appears that you will have problems. Plus you'd then need a separate decapper somewhere.
What I want to do is decap and FL size the case first, then run it through the trimmer. Will this work without any problems?
IF you happened to be running FL sized cases through the trimmer only with nothing else on the toolhead, would lube be required?
