    You probably need to make some small adjustments on the bullet punch die, keep trying to adjust until you get bullets that don't have lube ooze getting past the seated bullet.

    Also, perhaps theres too many lube holes open on the lube die body, you can plug up some of those holes with NO. 7 lead shot...thus, restricting the area of lube on the bullet.

    Also has to due with pressure on the lube resevoir. Less air pressure if you are using air or less spring pressure if you are manual. If using hard lubes that require heat, less heat.

    fecmech right on.
    It is the same thing that Magma said when I called with the same problem. I found that temperature had the most to do with it.
