Not saying this is the problem or to be mean spirited but did you lube a little bit heavy? Yes I've done it myself more than I should but lube can dent a case in a heartbeat. He is trying to size cases with a case gauge.i highly doubt case lube is his problem at this point.not that precise yet Op not being a dick at all I promise.i guess Dave 260 thinks I am whatever.just steering you in right direction

Honestly bud read several reloading manuals and load ammo by the book.then start watching panhandle precision or other vids You got to know basic fundamentals and safety to start.if you had read reloading manuals and set up your dies per instructions you would not be here asking questions. You mentioned panhandle precision.great vids but that's advanced you need to know basic knowledge of hand loading.the same understanding we all know and will give you confidence and basic knowledge But read 2-3 reloading manuals.read front to back for safety and basic knowledge we all know Your question you just asked would not be have been a problem if a you had done so.now this is where you start learning advanced hand rolling .interwebs .lol I agree with what you’re saying. I’ve read a bunch in my manuals and as far as I know I followed all directions on my manuals and die set in order and to the letter. I’m one of those paralysis by analysis types. That’s also why I haven’t fired those rounds and am trying to figure out what didn’t go right. I appreciate what you’re saying and the advice. I’m not trying to be a know it all smarty pants.

I did my best not to lube heavy. The container says “a little goes a long way.” I didn’t dent any cases but the container on this Hornady Unique says it won’t dent cases FWIW.

If the bolt will close it's safe to shoot. A snug fit won't hurt anything.
Always a good idea after setting up your sizing die to chamber a sized case and see how it fits.

Do the sharpie trick on the whole thing open and close your bolt a few times then post a Pic of it
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.

Cleaning the inside of the dies could be another issue
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Make sure your press is setup to cam over when you are using it that could be the easy answer. I'm guessing it isn't based on the fact pattern here but I'm not there using it so I don't know. Forest/Trees. Welcome to Aldeer. We'll decide your chamber is messed up here next and you need a gunsmith. Doh!
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I have a similar problem with my 270, I have to separate my cases. I use a RCBS case mic. on every case. Any case above +1 will not chamber in my Ruger, but will chamber in my sons Tikka No problem.
