I purchased a Lee Short Charging Die and while trying to use it the ball powder kept falling out when I cycled a .223 shell into it. I found out that the rifle drop tube has a universal opening. So I designed a new drop tube for the .223 that centers the case and funnels the powder down the middle. this is not as durable as a steel tube would be but the concept works. I removed the outer layer in the first image to show the internal design. When it is printed it will look like the following pictures.

The first few prints were without rafts and they kept failing because I could not get the part to adhere to the bed. I would recommend using one due to the very minimal surface area on this part.
