D.Hayden Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 OP: You do mean in a seperate step right? You're not trying to trim during loading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalGlocker Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Correct. Separate steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubajosh77 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I size and trim with the RT1200B on my XL650, tumble off the lube and just load away on the RL1050B when the inclination hits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
