Wulfmann:

I'm not sure I follow exactly what you are trying to do, but to answer the primary question - yes, you can use the Pro 1000 to load .223.

Are you looking to buy a Pro 1000 for .45 ACP ... and then add whatever you need to allow you to reload .223 as well? If so, and since you have dies already, you'll need a shell plate carrier for the .223. That will run you about $40 at MidwayUSA (many other places carry them, too).

You may also need and/or want a couple of other items, but respond back as to whether I am on the right track. No sense in me trying to give you help on a question you don't have.
