    Fired once brass

    Check the outside of the case neck for a sharp/square edge, especially if it was a heavy crimp originally or if you trimmed the case. (Fired once in your rifle or someone elses? Collet dies or FL?). I've seen em drag or feed bad due to bad/no chamfer on this outside shoulder and heavy crimps...
