Once Fired Hornady Brass Binds When Chambering
Rather than buying some new, unfired brass for my new .223, I purchased a box of 50 Hornady loaded rounds. These were the 52 gr BTHP and the box lists a muzzle velocity of 3300 fps. After firing all of them, I neck sized them with my Lee Collet die. Checking to see if they would chamber, I'm having problems with the case body jamming in the chamber. This happened on all the ones I tried. Sometimes they will chamber, most of the time they jam. I went back and full length sized the first 10 and that solves the chambering problem. I'd prefer to neck size with my Collet die, in the future. I haven't had this problem with my 243 and 7mm-08, using Winchester brass.
Is this a rifle chamber problem, a brass problem, or the case expanded too much from a hot Hornady load?
Thanks
