"Also, how many times can you fire straght-walled cases before you need to trim again for 223 and 30-06?"

In addition to the above (very valid) comments, and without any intention to flame you, anyone who words and asks this kind of question is NOT yet experienced enough to tackle what you are looking at. The 223 and -06 are not straight walled cases but the answer you seek is anywhere from 4-5 to maybe 10 times that much, depending on how it's loaded, if it gets annealed, the chamber it's fired in and how it's resized. (See what I mean?)
