cpg,
A couple of questions:
When you size your cases are you running the cases completely up into the sizing die until the shellholder touches the bottom of the die?
What case lube are you using?

Yes, die is set and shell holder touches slightly before full stroke.
I've been using the Lee paste lube but bought a can of Hornady one
shot spray that I haven't tried yet.

I use the Lee case sizing lube in the white tube. I
decap and clean. Then lube and dry overnight before full
length sizing. Using this process I have never had any
problems. The size, neck and all, is on spec and the
press runs very smoothly.

Be certain to shake the Hornady One Shot really well each time you use it in order to prevent a stuck case. I have used it and it works great, but it must be agitated each and every time before you spray your brass or you end up with spray that looks wet, but lacks enough lubricant to prevent cases from sticking.
I know of several handloaders that have gotten stuck cases using One Shot. All because of failure to mix the lubricant before spraying.
