I lube with imperial die wax, then I resize with a full length die (expander ball removed) then clean the cases again to remove the wax. After that I use a carbide expander mandrel (no lube) and expand the case necks, then I load.
I used to have the factory stock on mine. Yes, I also had to use an additional riser on it. I used the Triad Tactical one before I switched to a chassis.
This might be worth the read: https://www.m14forum.com/threads/the-short-cut-for-load-development.475658/ I also hear 39.5gr of imr3031 with a 168gr SMK is good. Haven't tried it myself though.
Nothing wrong with a 24" 223 barrel. I shoot 500 yard F-Class with a 24" 223 barrel. Some guys I shoot with think I should rebarrel to a 28", but I'm happy with how my current barrel shoots.
1907 sling is my preferred sling. I've shot HP matches in the past and attended Appleseed events and learned how to use them. I have them on several rifles. I'm probably younger than you, in my 30s.
I've got the "Bob Sled" AICS 223 single shot magazine for my Tikka 223 (in a MDT chassis). It will single load just fine if I move the bolt forward slowly.
