What caliber are you reloading for? In most dies the depriming and resizing are done in the same die (Die 1). The one with the pin that sicks out of the bottom. After you deprime and size you then reprime as a separate action. If you are reloading pistols then you flare the case neck (Die 2) and drop the the powder. On some expanders you can drop the powder through the expander. In others you have to drop the powder in a separate operation. You then seat and crimp the new bullet (Die 3).

For bottle neck cases like rifles instead of flaring the neck you debur it. Then you drop the powder as a separate operation and then seat and crimp the bullet in the second die.

Some dies come in sets of three (FL resizing, Neck Resizing and Seating) or four dies (FL, Flare, Seating and Factory Crimp).
