Getting closer. I used the most minimal amount possible and only 3/4 the way up the body (on 4 of the 5 i sized) and there is a super tiny dimple on the brass. The first i used lube up to the shoulder and theres a very definite dimple. I believe there was lube in there from the last go round so that may have worked against me as well.
And i do believe the lack of vent is the problem. When pulling the brass out of the die theres a pop sound from the air (like a vacuum). I tested other calibers and dies and had no sounds like this one.
The left piece shows lube up to the shoulder and the right is 3/4 the way up with lube.
