You don't state how experienced you are with reloading.
Magnum cases are hard to resize.
If you are not using proper lubrication and/or you have a light press, not designed for large rifle cases and/or your press is not solidly mounted to a very rigid surface, magnum cases can be extremely hard to resize.
If your RCBS sizing die is clean, there is probably nothing wrong with it.
 
Trouble resizing

I have a rcbs full length die was told it was for 300 win. mag. bought used id on top says" 300 w bar " its almost impossible to size cartridge its to tight. any help?

That sounds like an old die that was made to size cartridges fired in "Browning Auto-load Rifles". Is there a date stamped on the die? What rifle are you loading for? Some of the BAR's have fairly sloppy chambers and re-sizing fired rounds is almost impossible. Use Imperial die wax case lube.
 
Thanks for your in put I have solved the problem The bar dies are old small base dies Thats what i wanted. The solution was to take dies to friend with rcbs press thanks H 4831 Earl
