Update:
I got the Hornady dies in today and immediately went to the shop to try them out. I lubed about 8 brass and resized the first one after setting the die according to Hornady's instructions. Tried the brass in the rifle and noted no change. I tried a couple more pieces and got the same result. Finally, I tried a different piece of brass and got the bolt to close with a little force. When I extracted the brass, I noticed a shiny spot on the rim. Next, I removed the extractor from the bolt and every piece of brass I tried chambered and the bolt closed very easily.
Now, what to do about the extractor?
