Okay, I used the Dillon Case Lube clone and the brass swages smoother in the Lee die and also fits "Better" in the WFT. Still a little sticking but not nearly as bad.

I checked a cartrage in my 5.56 chamber. I'm no expert but it seems to fit okay. It's a little tight but it will fully seat if I drop the bolt from about a quarter inch. Extraction seems fine.

Is it general consensus that I would have to reset the trimmer for each type of headstamp? They seem to over-trim when I try a different headstamp. Like LC versus FC.

I guess this is just all part of the learning process. It seems like necked cartrages can be a real PITA.
