1. What is the fired shoulder length before resizing? What length after resizing?
2. Don't know if I've mentioned this earlier, but Lee does not have the quality reputation that other dies/presses have, I don't recommend it for anyone who's looking to get into reloading. So it might be the Lee stuff, or it might be the barrel chamber. I had some barrels in 6.5 grendel that would do that and worse, whereas my other barrels the growth after resizing was less therefore better.
3. The resizing dies should be able to resize by bumping the shoulder back by 0.003-0.005, then any excess trimmed to get back with the OAL spec, but certainly not by 0.006
