Factory ammo worked perfectly and the reloads did good as well except for 2 rounds that stuck ever so lightly.
If your reloads are stiff going in, maybe your die is not reforming the shoulders back enough and your creating too tight of a headspace. During the shot, the brass will expand to match your chamber under pressure and then shrink after the shot, giving easy extraction (as long as your pressures are happy). Try adjusting your die so your brass will chamber perfect. Also make sure the brass is clean of any sizing lube or dirt.
