Lightbulb Or......you could try "old school"

First....run the case into a 223 FL die, WITHOUT the neck expanding button.

Second......very carefully, run the case into a 17-223 bullet seating die(without the seating stem). Multiple short sizing strokes, and slight polishing of the die, helps.

Third......run the case through the standard 17-223 FL die.

Results may vary......depending on age/hardness of brass.

Hope this helps.

Kevin
