You adjusted the die down too far into the press. smile

I guess you found out it's best to thread the die in, raise a case into the die and resize. Then try hand seating a bullet into the case mouth. If it slides in, tighten the collet die down 1/8 of a turn, repeating until the case mouth is small enough.

When the die came out, myself and others emailed Lee about that. All we heard were crickets. laugh
