Die creasing shoulder. Why?

Why would a FL sizing die suddenly strart creating a crease on EVERY shoulder it sets back?

It's definitely not an "over-lube" problem. I know all about how to stop that.

What could it be?

I`d take the stem out and wipe the interior of the die and check the vent hole if it has one in the die body to insure it`s open. Creases are normally the result of lube, air, or dirt, in the die. It`s likely lube build-up but a plugged vent or piece of brass shaveing could be the cause.

I found that a quick fluid stroke of the handle prevents creasing while a long-duration, careful stroke increases the chances of creasing.
