I just bought a set of hornady FL 223 dies. They work smoothly on the way down, but on the way back up, they take a great deal of force to get the expander up past the neck. The down stroke is smooth, the upstroke is smooth until the expander contacts the neck. Then it takes a swift hit to the handle to get the expander out.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
