Sticking problems can be eliminated by polishing the chamber, making sure the brass and chamber are clean and dry, and not shooting loads that are too hot. Read the ejector info in the FAQs and Help sticky, and welcome aboard. ;)

I use small base X dies for my semi-auto's not NEF's. You need to check your brass trim length and perhaps adjust your resizing die a touch to get proper sizing.
