I only load .223 on my 650 that DON'T need to be trimmed. That means sorting the cases before loading, then only loading those that can be loaded WITHOUT being trimmed.

Those that DO need trimming, get sized in a single stage, then trimmed. Loading those, I eliminate the size die, or back it way out so it only passes the sizer button into the case a bit.
