[QUOTE="5280Reloader, post: 2842572, member: 107893"] I think a progressive for 223 is the way to go. I have a Dillon XL750 and can't recommend it it more. I size and load in two separate steps. I have a toolhead that is used solely for sizing brass. I like to spray my brass with the homemade lanolin lube and run it all through the sizing process at once. This method leaves the cases sticky and I don't want to take the change or contaminating my powder. Plus powder can become quite messy when it sticks to the cases. Just never works out well for me so I elect to load in two steps. Once I am done with sizing, I trim, chamfer and deburr if necessary. Then, I tumble the cases until they are dry and very clean. I insert my other toolhead for the loading process. This toolhead has my powder drop, powder cop, seating and crimp dies. This works well for me. You will always spill a little powder here and there when loading progressively, but nothing sticks to the cases. If you use Hornady One Shot case lube, you can probably do everything in one session. But, the possibility ofg needing to trim cases and address the case mouth is always a possibility. Good luck, figure out a method that works for you and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
