Reloaded Rounds not sliding easily into Shellholder

[cpatbay]

I have done a couple of rounds of reloading with my 223 brass. Now, some of my PPU brass are "resisting" being slided into the shellholder while all my LC brass are still sliding into the shellholder with ease.

So my question is; are these PPU brass becoming deformed at the head significantly enough to be discarded? Does this symptom mean these brass will be harder to be extracted during firing?

Also, would full length resizing fix this problem?

the extractor sometimes lighly beds the rim I still laod them

you probably have a burr on the extraction groove from the extractor. The head area really doesn't deform from firing. If you slide a cartridge into the chamber, you'll see how far the round goes into the chamber and the back part of it sticks out so the bolt can surround it and the extractor can grab it. full length resizing will do nothing for the problem you're having. if they don't fit in the shell holder, retire them to the recycling bin.

They should shoot fine. But yes, it's a hassle when brass does this.

Try turning the brass while putting in the shell holder, could be a burr on the rim.

Try a different shellholder, or different brand of shellholder. They are machined items to a +/- tolerence. Your cases may be + and the shellholder -.
