I ran a couple of cases through the resizing die and noticed it was leaving dimples in the shoulders of the cases. So I wiped excess lube off of a couple with a rag and ran them through and it still did it.
Way too much lube.

Solutions:

If you are loading for a single bolt action rifle, where the ammo will only be used in that rifle and no other, the Lee Collet Neck Sizing Die can not be beat: Lube the inside and outside of the case neck by dipping it in a bit of ground mica or graphite, removing excess by inserting a brush into the neck.... that's all the lube necessary. Less mess, work, brass lasts longer, and it makes more accurate ammo.

If you must full length size (loading for a semi-auto, pump, of several different rifles of the same caliber), Lee's water based wax lube thinned 4 or 5:1 with warm water, applied with your fingers, and allowed to dry be for sizing works really well for me ...... no dented shoulders.
