I recommend purchasing a different brand of Full Length Resizing Die.
I purposely messed up the neck and mouth on one of my once fired Hornady cases. I have a .310" neck expander and I adjusted it to unnecessarily flare out the mouth of the case. I then full length resized it using my RCBS XL14 resizing die that has a .310" expander ball. I took a .311" 174grn FMJ-BT and seated it just to the bottom of the cannelure. The neck tension is as it should be. The main focus here is the inside diameter of the case neck @ .310". The .311" diameter projectile when seated, has enough neck tension placed on it to firmly hold the projectile in place, even after the case was purposely mistreated.![]()

It is of my personal opinion that your Lee full length resizing die was machined out of specification...
