I showed this before but I can't stop staring at it...
What's going on here?
Ok, there are ten stations. And I'm mostly guessing...
#5 is the powder filler
#7 is the bullet placer
#8 is seating the bullet
#9 is the case crimper....
What are all the others for?
#1 looks like a de-primer? Why would you need that in a factory from fresh cases, unless this is a reload factory? #2 and #3 looks like they might be sizing cases. Who knows which one is actually adding a new primer under the covers and off camera... Wouldn't make sense to add the primer after the powder, so not #6

Probably just ensuring the primer pocket and flash hole is perfect by swaging or reaming the new cases.
That probably makes #6 a charge verification die. Check to make sure there aren't squibs. I don't have a progressive press, but I understand you can get lockout dies that work that way.
