I fought this until I figured it out. Run the 223 into a gutted 223 die then into the 17-223 sizer. I recommend outside chamfer but it is not really necessary but it doesn't hurt. I use the same process on my 20 TAC and PRAC.
Some just run it straight in but I like to be a bit less forceful. You should clean up the case mouths too as many will be uneven.
