I use mainly Hornady dies with their included exanders, you do need to polish the expanders well to make resizing easy.
To many people spent a lot of time doing stuff that really does not help them achieve their desired out come.
I used to bugger about for ages loading all my match ammo very carefully and one at a time then out of frustration I loaded 100 once fired .223 thru my dillon 550 then I fannyed about for ages loading 100 by hand (Single headstamp, weighing cases, weighing every powder charge, weighing every projectile and sorting to get 100 of same bearing length etc etc.
Shot both at 100m and 200m thru my now long since bent up nasty black rifle and the difference in accuracy was not worth the extra shagging around
If you like to spend valuable free time loading ammo with OCD great but in reality you only need it to be accurate enough to do the job reliably (whatever that may be) and unless you are trying to get them all thru the same hole (bench rest) maybe you could free up a bit more time not getting so picky
Biggest difference I made to my reloading was to toss away all the neck size only dies I had been supplied and FLS only
