Those Hornady dies will work well for that AR.
If you invest in an RCBS "X" FL sizing die, you will be able to significantly reduce your case trimming requirements (I don't know anyone that enjoys trimming brass!). I started using the RCBS "X" die at the suggestion of a fellow shooter when I was shooting hi-power matches.
The abbreviated procedure is to trim the fired case to minimum length, adjust the die as per RCBS's instructions, and you'll be good to go without further trimming.
When I was competing, I rarely had to trim cases again before trashing the brass due to enlarged primer pockets or neck or shoulder failures (this was all before I learned the value of periodic annealing of cases.). I was getting 8-10 reloads before discarding that batch of brass and needing to start over with a new batch of cases.
