Full length dies in 223 Remington are being recalled.

Full length dies in 223 Remington are being recalled.
The affected dies are stamped "Lee-223-C4" and were shipped between April and June of 2004.
The problem is that the die is a bit short, and could cause a headspace condition if it is adjusted to contact the shell holder.
According to Lee, if the affected die is backed out 1/4 turn, and adjusted until the breech of the rifle just closes without difficulty on the resized case, it would be safe to use.
