I didn't throughly read all the replys to you question, but I didn't see any suggestions to re-set the dies. I had similar symptoms and did the whole die cleaning/de-burring process. (Brillo pad wrapped around a small caliber bronze brush on a cordless drill). Slight improvment but didn't solve the problem. I finally reset the dies and made sure they were true to the stroke of the ram (Dillon press). No more Scatches.

Good luck
