So your saying it wont close on a loaded round your OAL should be fine .. but does this have a match grade barrel per chance? What is the OAL on the factory rounds you have
Also a weak round wont keep it from going into battery you would tend to see problems on ejection |

if the factory ammo is longer and your bullet isnt over sized your not sizing your cases down enough

Either size down more. Your die should touch the shellholder/shellplate. Otherwise run in in a Lee factory crimp die and that will post size the cartridge. The FCD has cured many issues.

Maybe maybe not measure the depth of your chamber with a Caliper
Maybe you have a short chamber |
