What are you going to shoot the 223 in. If you are going to shoot them in a bolt gun then you only have to neck size them and won't need lube. If you shoot them in a semi-auto then you will have to full length resize them and lube the cases. You can also use a RCBS X-die and only have to trim the cases one time. You will also want to buy a funnel to pour the powder into the case. I would upgrade to a single stage or better yet the classic turret press and you still won't need a bench. I also think Lee is a good choice. My classic turret is an awesome press at a great price.
