Nemesis 45--Deformation was in the bulge of the case around the bullet. There normally is a bit of a bulge when the bullet is pressed into the case. Apparently the bulge was greater than usual on the dozen or so cases that wouldn't chamber.

Mdmtj--Deformation on a few of those rounds was clearly greater than would fit in any .45 acp chamber--A couple wouldn't even go into the Midway chamber 1/2-way. They all worked fine after resizing.

Weshootz--The Lee Carbide FCD resizes whatever bulges there may be in the cases, I take it?
