Hi all,
Quick question,
Can I use a 7mm mag die or .300 winmag die to decap .223 without sizing?
Just picked up a Dillon rt-1500 trimmer
Consensus seems to be that brass should be unsized going into the trimmer so the trimmer has something to grab on to. The trimmer sizes but does not decap.
The ideal setup on a progressive seems to be;
1. Universal decapper first station
2. Trimmer second station
3. Sizing die third station to reset neck tension.
Got a universal decapper on order. In the meantime,
Can I use a larger die with a .223 expander ball replacement?
Or should I just cool my jets and wait for the universal decapper?
Or...can I just skip the universal decapper and just run the trimmer first station, then a .223 sizing die second station to decap and expand neck?
The trimmer is a small base die, my .223 dies are standard
