It is likely that initially the die is hotter than the product. The extra contact the polymer has with the die metal near the edges causes the polymer to warm up and flow faster.

As time goes on, either the polymer entering the die becomes hotter as the extruder equilabrates, or the die cools down at the edges giving you the flow balance you want.

The best solution would be temperature control zones at the die edges where you would modify temperature to control flow.
