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?
 
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.
