[QUOTE="cre8alegacy, post: 1571737, member: 75734"] It does seem your problem likely stems from brass fire formed in a different gun. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, if you zoom in on your comparison photo, the shoulder lengths do seem markedly different. Measuring shoulder to base or shoulder to top of belt on some of this fired brass (go vs no-go) should highlight the problem enough even if you don’t have a .40 comparator to check datum measurements. You might try taking one of those unloaded cases that close,but difficultly so, and polish it before trying it again. Careful inspection after that second attempt may show where the case is binding. PS: I like using Flitz metal polish, does a great job. I have a Sinclair case holder adapter I use with a drill for this and you can polish a whole tray of cases in a few minutes with a soft cotton cloth. I’m compulsive I guess, but I like having clean, nice looking reloads anyway - everything always works smoothly that way and you find flaws easily. Oops, just noticed Dr Vette mentioned a similar option! Don’t get discouraged, I’ve found that trying to diagnose a problem has taught me more than anything in my reloading experiences. [/QUOTE]
