Dillons were too long and had to go too far down in the case to do the case mouth expanding, and when the expander/funnel went that far down that caused it to stick in the case. I haven't tried any in another press but it sure sticks like glue in the Dillons.

Starline's remedy was to send the die to them and they would modify the expander/funnel so that doesn't happen. I have yet to do so but may be forced to. We shoot so many 44 Specials a week that I simply don't have time to do them on a single stage press or even in one of my turret presses.
