The Dillon die works fine and makes good ammo. The "PROPERLY ADJUSTED" Dillon die sizes fine for the AR chamber no need for any other gizmos.

fixed it for you
I have a lightly used 650XL. It is in the neighborhood of 150k rounds loaded since I bought it new about 4 years ago. I do a little competition shooting so loading my own ammo is a VERY economical solution for me at the volume I shoot.
When it comes to loading 5.56 ammo, the only sizing die that has NEVER caused me an issue in my rifles is Dillon. I have tried many other brands of dies with varying degrees of failure.
Pro tip: Visually inspect EVERY case for powder charge BEFORE you seat the bullet. Static bridge in a powder hopper is rare, but it does happen. It is also easier than you would think to run your powder hopper empty ...
