Default Rookie Question - Part 2

Ok, I have the bench built, the starter kit plus a few accessories. The first die purchase was the Lee Classic Die Set for the 270 Win. It comes with three dies, one of them being a collet shoulder die.

I hook up the full case die and set it to the manufacturers specs. Clean off 40 cases, lube them as instructed and go to work. I still haven't bought powder, primers or bullets but I gotta use the new bench for something.

They all punch up nicely but snag on the way down. I can pull them all out but it takes some force. Some are tougher than others. None stick but I wouldn't want to use much more force. Inspection of the brass reveals signs of shaping at the shoulders or just below where it tappers to the neck.

Is this normal or is there a hitch in my system? I rerun a few and its about them same pressure, perhaps a little less.
