    Neck Die galling 223 brass

    I got a new box of Lapua brass(cardboard box) but at some time it has been dropped on one corner.With my new Hornady neck die I thought I would run them all through.even tension,round up any ovals etc.Using Graphite powder and #7 shot I set to.At 40 I noticed the necks were galled,starting at around 10 and getting worse,I stripped the die and cleaned with a bronze bore brush,still doing the same.
    with full length dies I always use Lee lube and have no problems with any cal.for years
    Have I got a stuffed Die?
    Have I got 30 stuffed cases?
    Have tried to take a photo but they don't show the marks,vertical galls the full length of the neck.can be felt with thumbnail when rotated.
    Thoughts please anyone.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
