We use RCBS and not Lyman, but it sounds like a lube problem.

If you don't have carbide dies for straight-wall pistol cases, you MUST lube the cases. And make sure they're clean.

A possible secondary problem is that military brass is thicker than commercial. But I think it's a lube problem.

IIRC, that doesn't impact the outside diameter. Only the inside diameter which, theoretically, raises pressures.

To the OP: do yourself a favor and invest in carbide resizing dies.
