[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2306961, member: 95733"] Tried coloring five rounds of the ammo both the case and the bullet that has the problem chambering and cycled each one 3x and none showed any evidence of contact with the lands or chamber or significant marks of any kind. Truly the cause for this is a mystery to me. How can a factory round whos case length from base to shoulder is essentially the same length (1.6185 vs 1.6180) of a round of factory ammo from a different lot# of the same exact ammo and is actually shorter (2.150 vs 2.1225) from base to Ogive and is have difficulty chambering? I also took my calipers and used them to mark one loaded case each of a round from the old ammo that fits normally and one that is difficult to chamber and mark it every 1/16" from where the shoulder meets the case neck to about 1/2 the length back and measured both and again found no differences in OD that were anywhere near significant enough to cause this issue. Unfortunately I now have 33 rounds of unusable ammo. I guess I could pull a bullet from one, resize it and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
