While I use hornady One shot on my cases and never had any problems after loading you might depending upon he lube you use. You can run the finished rounds in a tumbler with corn cob for 30 minutes to clean the lube off.

Part of the firing sequence is the brass expanding to cling to the chamber walls for a millisecond. If there's lubricant on them, the case will not stick and will batter the bolt. Definitely clean them. You can do it with a soft rag. I started using Hornady One Shot for that very reason. I hate lubing cases.

A well-seasoned reloader of .223 suggested the following to me. 1. Lube up your brass, resize using just the resize die, tumble again until dry and shiny (or just let them dry all the way). 2. Remove resize die and load away, simply using station 1 (we all have blue 550's here) to seat the primer.

Thats the way I done it for decades. I run my ammo dry as well as the firearm inside.

IAnother great idea . I also use a RL 550B .I clean. size and prime all the 223 in one shot before I load them up ,cleaning them after sizing would be a snap . Thanks

I would instead recommend you use a universal depriming die in station one to insure there is no media in the flash hole.
