I'm FL sizing some 300 rum brass for a friend, Norma brass once fired, using a Redding type S match bushing FL die and using hornady one shot spray lube. Cases were harder than normal to resize, and now they look like this. What's my problem here?

Hornady One Shot spray lube.
When I had my reloading business, I bought "RCBS Type II" lube in gallon jugs - we loaded more than 18,000,000 rounds a year, and never had a problem or stuck case.

Have you cleaned the sizing die & did you try another lube like Redding imperial wax??

Id be putting a scope on the side of the die & consider changing lubes.
Do the sized cases chamber?

Check and polish your die, if necessary, and get some Imperial Wax.
If that doesn't work, I'd explore his chamber, to see if it's oversize.

Are you letting the lube dry for a while? I've only had issues with one shot when it was wet when resizing. Moved to lanolin and alcohol with zero issues.
Also, good to clean brass before resizing.

How do you polish the die?
I did not let the one shot dry on the brass, but I did clean the brass in a sonic cleaner before sizing

I have used Honady spray lube for years and never had any that looked like that, even hard cases. I would polish the bass then lube or the die is bad. Just another opion.
Did you give it time to dry
That is your problem then everyone complains about one shot it is so fast and easy and it works great when used properly you must let the thinners evaporate before using
To polish your Die, Take it apart and take a drill and a Bore Mop with Flitz or any other polishing compound or rouge insert and spin til shes slick, you can use as slotted shotgun jag and scotch brite as well
I've had that happen with both my 6.5-284 (Norma brass) and my 6.5 x 47 (Lapua Brass). The down stroke on the press feels "grainy" and stiff. I could never figure out why, even after cleaning the brass, die and using Imperial resizing wax. The common denominator - Redding Type S FL sizing dies. I guess it's time for a call to Redding. I guess it's possible that some dies got through QC without a final honing or ID polishing. That's all I can think of. I have another set of Type S FL dies for my .204 and they never did that.
