You went max COL perhaps out of concern for pressure but could be creating that very problem by stuffing a bullet right up in the throat. Why don't you try black smoking the bullet with no neck pressure at the case mouth and determine your maximum COL potential, then start backing off that. Are you familiar with that process? This will give you a good comparison to determine if there is a headspace issue, too.
