Krieger headspace question

I have a Krieger DCM (AR-15) barrel on order, "minimum-spec 223 chamber". I'll headspace it before running it of course, but I'd like to get started on brass prep.

If I full-length resize brass to 'go' gauge spec, I should be GTG. Right?
Or bump back .002 from the 'go' gauge?
 
If the brass is new it should be good to go. Might need to iron out some mouths to makem round
 
I would think a Minimum .223 chamber would chamber 1.464" bumped cases. Probably nothing wrong with resizing to that spec, but I wouldn't load any ammo until you actually get the rifle in your hands. You could load a couple of dummy rounds to test the feeding / chambering to be sure before you start making ammo.
