I'd get the proper dies.
I have not checked maybe you can get a collet die for the .223AI but if not I would try the .223 collet since Lee said it probably would...heck I use a 22PPC collet die on my .221 Fireball and it works.
Like the one I have enough that, Im building a better replacement. I have a action on order, a chassis and a Kreiger blank waiting for the rest of the stuff to arrive.

Just fine. I've not shot a slew of them, but have shot enough 40Vmax's to know that they shot very well. FWIW even my 1-8" 22-250 shot the 40Vmax into sub-moa groups.

I use nothing but lee collet die(Neck)for .223AI.Just follow directions on adjustment and you are there.Nice straight necks are nice,but no case lube is flipping great!
Yep, 100% in your camp there smirker. I use them exclusively for the .223 Rem right now, and plan on doing the same for the AI when I get a new barrel picked out.
I use collets on every caliber I own (that they make them for anyway). Love them.
