RK,
What die are you having trouble with the 185gr. SWC's sticking to? I don't know what kind of lube your bullets are lubricated with, but most of the production bullet people use a heater on their lubrisizer and use a hard lube that doesn't stick to other bullets.
I have never had any trouble with the decapping pin hanging up in the primer hole. Is this on US manufactured brass? You might try polishing down your decapping pin with fine emery cloth.
You didn't get some of the round base primers with your reloading equipment did you? Most of the old reloading sets came with two different primer seating stems for the flat and round base primers. I still have some of the old round base primers left over from years ago.
Nickel cases work fine in pistol reloading, but avoid them for rifle reloading.
