dahermit covered it pretty well. As for case sizing, you can use your FL die and partial resize. Set the bottom of the die about 1/8 of an inch above the top of the shell holder when the ram is raised. It'll size most of, but not all of, the neck. Try it. Works fine for me, but only on tapered cases. Doesn't work worth a darn on 223, but works on 270 and 220. That's what I'm doing right now with my 220, though I don't know if I settled on exactly the 1/8 inch gap.
