Default noob reloading question

so I have my RCBS 2 die AR set for 223, and it appears to me that the expander rod for neck flaring is undersized. The internet says it's happened to other people, and I've triple checked it, I'm positive it's not just me being inexperienced and making a mistake. The rod actually passes through the neck of a sized case, and measures .223 at it's widest point (not very great for flaring a neck for a .224 bullet).

anyhoo, I have sent an email to rcbs customer service, and in the meantime I'm wondering if there's any issue simply chamfering the case necks to seat bullets instead of flaring them? I tried a couple dry (no powder or primers) and had no issues
