I've been loading the .223 for quite some time for both an AR and bolt gun. I have yet to experience a doughnut problem.
I'm planning on getting a neck turner shortly and was wondering if doughnuts are a problem with the .223. If so, the K&M tool can remove them whereas the Sinclaire doesn't appear to.

Doughnuts are generally only an issue when you're reshaping & fire-forming brass, typically when changing the shoulder to a steeper angle or necking down to a smaller caliber. Some softer brass (Norma) could flow enough to create a doughnut after numerous hot loads have been run through it, but it's not common.
