stuck cases
Next time you run into that problem check the forcing cone. the high base 2 3/4 and 3 " shells will expand into the forcing cone and since the cheap hulls stretch more that the good ones it magnifies the problem. the extra plastic stretches into the forcing cone and then seizes itself to the machined angle of the forcing cone because its usually rough and not polished as like the chamber.With the crimp bottle necked into the forcing cone the cup and wad then have to use more pressure to get past the bottleneck and you get high chamber spike pressures that can effect the whole case even the base.
