Lee Die Help

I have been trying to resize my 270 brass on my lee turret press. I am using the lee resizing/decapper die. It is taking a LOT of force to do it. I know at first everybody will say case lube, but I am using adequate amounts of Dillon spray lube. If anything, because its so tight, I am probably using too much lube. Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

I got it, Dillon calls to let it dry for 5 mins, but it just needed a longer drying time.

Lee Die Help ...on a Dillon?

I would suggest a stronger and different press for resizing 270 cases. I do all my bottle neck sizing on an RCBS Rock Chucker.
