for my 556/223 brass, I do something similar, but different.

I have a 4 station Dillion 550 for the reloading, and an RCBS single stage for d-cap and re-size.

1: clean the brass in Dillon tumbler. Walnut shells and a squirt of liquid brass cleaner.
2: with a Redding die, de-cap and resize the brass in the RCBS single stage. I use Sinclair case lube (small round tin) and lube enough cases that will fit the plastic case block. About 50 at a time.
3: trim the brass on Wilson lathe with a power screwdriver to turn the cutter. Deburr the case mouth with both the inner and outer cutters mounted together on a base and use the power screwdriver to drive the cutters.
3: clean the primer pockets with RCBS pocket brush on the power screwdriver. I never found it necessary to check depth of primer pockets, but maybe I should check them once and a while.
4: Onto the Dillon to seat primers at station 1. I have a second re-sizing die at station 1, but is adjusted to NOT resize, just stabilize the case during priming.
5: I don't like the Dillion power measure/thrower so I replaced station 2 with Redding powder measure/thrower. A manual step but it works good and throws consistent measures of powder (Win748)
6: with a Redding Micrometer seating die, seat the bullets at station 3. Periodically measure the seating depth to verify the ogive of the bullet is about 4 thousands short of touching the lands of the barrel. This short 'jump' of the bullet seems to work best in my AR.
7: with a Redding die, crimp the bullets/brass at station 4.
8: after a reloading session of maybe 200 rounds, I would clean the dies. Especially the re-sizing die.

This has worked well for I have no idea how many hundreds, maybe thousands, of rounds I have reloaded for high power competition.
