    If you have seated the projectiles in deeper then there will be more jump to the lands.
    You may need to adjust the seating die further. I generally raise the ram on the press and screw die till it contacts the shell holder then adjust down a further 1/8 of a turn. If the shells a still tight you can go down a little more, be careful not to push the shoulder back.
    Removing the projectiles I use a kinetic bullet puller and for the primers if I can I leave the decapping pin out of the sizing die and run the shells through like that, it will resize the brass but your primer will stay put.
    If the decapping pin is hard to remove, put some safety glasses on and just size the brass like it was fired stuff. I have done heaps like that and it works fine, I even keep the decapped unfired primers and use them again in target loads. Never had one not go off yet when re used.
    Always pays to run the brass through your rifle after the sizing process.
