You are hitting the case holder while on the sizing stroke with a case being sized?!?

First ascertain where the case is stopping you chambering it, if it is at the mouth all good trim, if it is at the shoulder your die needs to go down, die setting instructions are shit....dont set to touch the case holder set to match your rifles chamber lenght/headspace.

If it is tight on the shoulder the die needs to go down, if it is kissing the shell holder WHILE SIZING the case you need to remove some of the die from the bottom.
presses stretch and kissing the holder with no case can be miles of with a case.
