Most modern scipes don"t have a long enough tube or long enough eye relief to work on any bolt gun with a long action.

Your FL die is squeezing the case down too much. You need a larger FL die or you need to lap out your existing die.

Measure your case "neck" diameter when you pull them out of your FL die and let me know. I can plug gage 3 or 4 FL dies with my pin gages and let you know what they are.

A huge heavy press is not needed for pistol ammo. The longer stroke of the press handle can be a disadvantage.
