You may simply have run out of useable die before the base touches the shell holder
If the brass is difficult to chamber once it has been through the full length die there is insufficient sizing taking place
The simple solution is to remove (using carbide cutting tool, .050” or thereabouts from the base of the die
Make sure whoever does this polishes the cut surface breaking the edge
Then progressively size the brass incrementally deeper into the die until the brass will chamber easily with light finger pressure on a bolt with the fire control mech removed
