have had same issue with other dies...

turned out the problem was using a different shell holder than normally

another time, the die evidently got bumped and was not sizing it down all the way,

or the brass gets so brittle, annealing it would return enough elasticity to be able to bump it down enough...

or finally that could happen if your brass finally needs a trim....
