When loading for my 6.5TCU I used to get a lot of stuck cases as the rim would peel off. Was soft winchester brass. Changed brand of cases and a very nice forum member polished the die within an inch of its life and no more issues. TCU is a very straight walled case which I think means resizing is more difficult.

not sure if any of that will help.

I've heard of bumping the neck, but how do you do it?
