Ok. Back in town now. So I measured the cases and at the neck I was getting .373-.377. Midway dow I was getting .373-.375 and at the back if the case, I was getting .374-.378. I tried putting that last one that measured .378 and it would not fit all the way (it would go in until it got to the back of the case. I put it in the resizer, pushed out the primer and then tried to put i back in the cylinder and it went in with no trouble. So I loaded it up, took measurements and it went in with no problem at all. So basically it sounds like that these dam casings were not sized correctly/not at all. This has me puzzled because I deprimed/primed them and waited to get loaded back up. Well, to make sure, I did this with 10-15 more cases and after I resized them and deprimed them, they all worked out correctly. Going to do a few more up like this and fire them to make sure but it sounds like the problem has been corrected. Just wonder how they were deprimed and primed but not sized.
