sounds like a crap die, if you are using imperial sizing wax you shouldn't be having that problem, buy a nice Lee die and forget your problems

My Chrony has bought it a couple of times...
Sounds like you have some galling where the die mouth is not quite smooth, has picked up brass and that has picked up more brass.
Might be an idea to try a spray lube when you get it sorted. I use lanolin/99% IPA 1-9 in a pump spray, works well and easy to remove.

Talked to Redding tech and die is off to NY for repair/replace. Thought is that die not finish honed after cut with reamer. The imperfections ran the length of the die, not just mouth. All this started because I bought a Mannlicher Schoenauer M1952 on impulse because it was nearly cosmetically perfect--blueing perfect even on sharp edges, no rust etc. The kicker is that the rifle won't group (4-5 inches @100). I've bought Lee Enfields beat to crap but they would do 2-3 inches with mil surplus! Cheers all
