    You have a CARTRIDGE head space problem. Particularly, if your having difficulty chambering some factory ammo. Neck sizing with a Lee collet die won't resolved the issue until you stabilize the cartridge head space measurement...... Full length re-size so that brass chambers easily. Ideally you want .001" to .002" clearance at the shoulder. If you don't have a cartridge head space tool, hand tighten your F/L die down to shell holder with two pieces of typing paper on top of shell holder (.008" clearance) then full length resize and check that brass will chamber. Turn die in (down) 1/16th turn at a time until cartridge chambers with minimum resistance....... check several, if not all, cartridges in chamber as you may need an additional die adjustment to get all cartridges uniform in head space. Let us know how this works for you :)
