Or does it. Running a bulet feeder you either have the feeder, ,a powder check, a seat and crimp in one die or you relocate the powder measure to the swaging station and have a powder check, bullet drop and a seat die with crimp die. Hand seating bullets you will lose fingers so it is use a relocate kits from Immortobot and run preprimed brass.

I'm not sure why you would need an additional stage.

Factory ammo is primed prior to loading. On the Dillon presses you can have a bullet feeder or a powder check. If you run automated you can't insert bullets manually. This post is about the powder relocation kit that allows me to add powder at the swage station and have a powder check where the powder measure usually goes. My powder check stops the press if it is too low no powder or over charged. Running 2-3K a hour you need every advantage you can get.

Running the way this is set up it is possible to not have jams of the primer system from powder getting into the slide. There is no primer slide or primer arm when I load like this.
