My guess is that you did not have the sizing die adjusted properly when you first sized them. I have resized brass after priming a few times by removing the decapping pin, but never with bullets seated. I don't think they would fit in the die, plus it is not very safe. Your friend's pistol must have tighter chambers than your S&W. I would simply shoot them in the Smith and make some more checking to see if the sizing die is properly adjusted. 90% of the problems I have ever had reloading have been with the sizing die adjustment. Good luck.
