Underwhelmed by my Redding Type-S FL Sizing Die and Bushing Performance

This was printed on the box (Forster BR die), and might be illuminating:

I’m pretty impressed with this die.
 
Btw: The Forster BR die is intended for properly cut chambers. Ideally a min spec chamber. My Reminigton 700 has a very sloppy chamber, nowhere near min spec, and the Forster die will not size it, and it pretty clear i will have a stuck case if i force it. Using Imperial Sizing Lube.

My Savage 12 has a better cut chamber, but i need to size halfway, pull it out, lube again, before the press handle will go down all the way on the second attempt. I use a torque limiter handle and it clicks over when i apply too much force. It is adjustable just like a torque wrench, and keeps me out of trouble. [Meant for accurate bullet crimping operations.]

Lapua brass fired in my MPA rifle (which is close to min spec) sizes down with zero issues.

Just something to keep in mind.
