Redding Re-sizing issues?

I've been loading 220 SMKs at 1.98" OAL and 240 SMKs at 2.0" OAL and some of the rounds are getting stuck in the chamber, not allowing the BCG to close completely. After looking at the most recent round that got stuck, I don't think the bullet is hitting the lands, but instead the shoulder is too far forward.

Has anyone else had trouble with redding dies not pushing the shoulder back far enough? Is there an adjustment to the die I don't know about?

Also, with the 240s, the round is getting stuck in the seater die. As I lower the ram, the bullet is being pulled back out of the case by as much as 0.100".

Thoughts?
