I’ve had this happen before. Where certain brass wouldn’t chamber but others would. I was crushing them ever so slightly during the seat/crimp stage. It was bulging at the bottom of the shoulder. If this is the case just back your die out a touch(less crimp).

I'll definitely give that a try tomorrow! I've battled this all day lol I put just enough crimp to where you see only a small nearly invisible faded crimp line.Originally Posted by Kbeaton

Make sure post any results. I’ve loaded tens of thousands of 223 and haven’t ran into a certain type that couldn’t be sized.

Well woke up early and made a few test loads and still ran into the same problem. Even took the crimp die completely out. This has completely stumped me. I reckon I'll put the lid on the bucket and stick with lake city brass lol

Do you have a case gauge?
What kind of press are you running?
I would guess it may be a head space issue
I process tons of them every year, and never an issue with them
I'm running a Rock chucker with RCBS small base 223 dies. Some rounds will chamber flawless and others wont go fully into battery. I've heard great things about this brass. I ended up getting these in a package deal from a guy stationed at Ft.Bragg here. If you have any advice brother wes I sure will listen.

Sounds like the head space is the issue to me brother.
Got time for a quick phone call?
