This might be a dumb question, but I am new to rifle reloading. Will be loading once fired .223 brass on a Dillon XL650. I am going to buy their electric case trimmer die set up.

Do you have to re-size before trimming, or can you trim, then re-size. i guess that is such a dumb question I probably already even know the answer, but the reason I ask if I am trying to figure out if I can put the trimmer die on an RCBS single-stage press and just trim all the brass, then run it through the dillon for re-size and de-prime, re-prime, load with powder, seat bullet, crimp (do I need to crimp??? Lyman 49 says rounds for AR's need crimping; are they right?). Otherwise, if I have to re-size first, then trim, I am not sure where the trimmer die goes. It can't go into the die position in the tool head that is used for the powder measure for the pistol rounds, right? So confusing.
