Yes it will work

I will warn you that the Lee CT has a square plastic bushing that is prone to failure

I run two dedicated progressives for my family's AR 15 shooting

Both are set up for Hornady 55 grn fmjbt and 25 grns WC844

Our Lee Loadmaster runs great and has made thousands of rounds

Like all progressives there is some tweaking but once set up its a great .223 machine

My new progressive is a Hornady L&L ammo plant

So far it seems to be as good as it gets and more.....lots more $$$ also

The big step up to a progressive vs a turret is handle puls per round

100 rounds with a classic turret = 300 pulls

300 pulls on either of my machines produces 295 rounds
