I tumble clean with primer in, then resize, then tumble again to get the lube off. Then trim and clean pockets.
What is your normal sequence of loading that would cause 2 resizings?

A universal decapping die is a handy addition to any reloader's setup. I have a Lee and it's been doing yeoman's duty for me.

By the way the trimmer is on it's own toolhead.
I see, my trimmer is off the press, so it is a separate step for me.

I use a Universal decapping die, then size & trim with the trimmer mounted in a Rockchucker, then prime in an RCBS Autoprime mounted on the table, and finally charge, seat, and crimp on the Dillon. That's a few extra steps but I can assure myself of a properly seated primer that way and it gives me one more look at the brass before I seat the bullet.
