I do 223 on my XL650 in two phases, two separate toolheads. First tool head #1 is the size/deprime die, #2 is empty, #3 is empty, #4 is the trimmer, and #5 is empty. I do this for all my brass, then swap to toolhead #2. Station #1 is empty, #2 is prime/powder, #3 is empty, #4 is seat, #5 is crimp. Works like a champ.

I would recommend running a universal decapping die in station 1 on toolhead #2. Just in case.
