223 case trimming

I want to start reloading 223 in my xl650. I’m wondering how you handle trimming the casings then send them thru the resizing die ? If you trim them and send them thru the resize die I would think you would change the length. Want to get this figured out before I get to far into it. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

When processing brass, most people use a universal depriming die in station 1, and set up the trimmer in station 4. Use a headspace case gage to set both the trim die and the size die for minimum headspace. Cases won't stretch again, as the sizing is identical.
