.30 Carbine problem

[17Chap]

As intro, I've reloaded handgun for years and rifle for a couple years but this is a new problem.

I have a few hundred once fired S&B cases. I'm using a Lee full length resizing die and a Lee zip trim as well as a Lee cutter and case length guide.

Some of the brass is too tight at the mouth, after resizing, for the shoulder of the case length guide. It is all S&B and probably fired from two different carbines.

Any ideas as to cause and any solutions. I've not encountered this before.

Thanks,

Jess

Bell your cases before trimming.

Yep. And you're gonna hate the tight primer pockets, but other than that it's good brass.
