Starline has a 223 basic case that folks use for 357AR. Back ordered right now.

For 357AR they require neck reaming and I would presume the same for your purposes too. I might have a few kicking around from when I had a 357AR barrel, I sold the virgin brass with the barrel but might have some used stuff that you could use trimmed back.

You might also be able to shove some 350 legend cases through a push through sizer and trim them, they only need sized down .01.
