Anyone know somewhere that has 223 dies in stock? I will also need a crimp die as these loads are for the AR.

Its going to be a stretch finding anything associated with .223 right now. You can backorder them from midway.

Maybe look on Gunbroker.com.
Uprisings started or quelled, tornadoes rerouted, elections rigged.

Let me go dig around in my loading stuff and I might have an extra die set. In the interest of reloading research, I have: Standard FL resizing die; Neck sizing die; Lee Collect Neck sizing die; Redding FL type S FL sizing die, and I am going to use them to decide which manner of resizing really gives me the best accuracy. When all the dust settles, I will probably have no need of the basic reloading dies that I started making 223 with. I think the base set is Hornady. So I'm not ready to sell the set just yet, but probably will in a couple of weeks when all my loading and shooting is finished.
Everybody talks about this sizing die and that sizing die and FL versus neck sizing. On and on the debate goes. So...by golly...I bought one of each and I'll just see what really is the most accurate. I want to know and I'll load and shoot till I'm sure of the answer. And I'll tell all of ya'll what I found, if you are interested.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

Definitely interested in your results. Thanks for the help guys. My boss is actually giving me a set of hornady dies that he has laying around! Now I just need to find bulletts.

I just unearthed an OLD RCBS FL 2 die set that I forgot I had. Going to clean it out and try it, haven't used it in years. Only set I have, interestingly enough. When things start getting back to normal I'll probably get the full set from Lee. Still have to get a shell holder though. Can't find mine.
