My first reloads. Qustion for everyone.

I decided to dive into the reloading world. I don't have a mentor or friend that reloads to "show me the ropes". I am basically just doing research on my on to learn. I will be reloading 40 S&W, 45 ACP, and 9mm to start off. I reloaded 30 rounds of 40 S&W for my first batch. I performed the plunk test in the barrel of the gun I intend to use, every round passed. They slide in, I applied pressure with my thumb, they all fell out easily, just like the factory round. When I tried the same test with a Lyman case gauge, 1/2 of the reloads would not fit into the gauge, the factory round and the other 1/2 of the reloads did fit into the gauge. Measured with a caliper and the reloads that did not fit were .002" -.004" wider at the case head. My question is since they passed in the barrel I will be using, should I be concerned or will this cause a problem. Thanks in advance.
