If you have a 45acp carbide die remove the decapping rod and run your brass through it first. It will only squeeze the web area of your brass.
+1 on the resizing wax.

Haven't tried the Imperial, but Hornady /Unique/ case lube has worked better for me than any other case lube on military brass. Great online reviews as well.

Stuck cases and difficult resizing were a problem for brass fired in my M1A. Replacing the spray lube with Hornady Unique lube fixed the former; Rockchucker fixed the latter.

Just got a couple cans Imperial. Works great on those LC cases.

Ha! An old thread but since somebody else posted... Tried most of the mentioned lubes, but another stands head and shoulders above the others. CFL-56 Case forming gel from Meister Bullets. After you are worn out and fixing to pop an artery - try some (you'll go WTF!) I'd estimate at least 50% less effort. I won't use anything else to process cases for my M1A. Meister Bullets

I may be 1X fired, but that was probably full auto based on the problems you are having resizing them. Youper beat me to it. Semi or full-auto chambers are looser than a Savage model 12 (or any bolt gun for that fact). That is why they make the small base full length resizing dies. And +1 on the Imperial die wax. Its the only stuff I've use for many a year. HaYen

+1 on Imperial sizing wax. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This Works great and a lot cheaper than a small base die. 357 carbide works well for 222/223 brass also.
