I'm still a couple pay days away from having all the gear I need to start reloading in earnest but I've been boning up on the process. I have a Lee turret press but RCBS dies. In my research I have found something that puzzles me.

In all of the videos I've watched and in the Lymans reloading book I'm using as my scripture they have the decapping tool in the resizing die. While I was tinkering and familiarizing myself with the individual steps, I discovered that with my RCBS dies, the decapping tool is part of the expanding die assembly.

My initial understanding of the system flow is as follows (abbreviated):
Step 1 decap/resize/prime
Step 2 expand
Step 3 charge (part of step 2 with my current set up)
Step 4 seat

Looking at the instructions included with the die set it seems like they want the system flow to be:
Step 1 resize
Step 2 decap/expand/prime
Step 3 charge
Step 4 seat

Now that I've rambled on, here is my question: Is it acceptable to expand before resizing?
