We have seen the same thing with HXP Greek military ammo in some guns.

Subtle difference there. Not sure how it does. Re-size has not worked to correct even with a more aggressive cam over. I could do the same thing and remove a bit of material but you have to be very precise and not sure its worth it

I just shoot the civilian brass the others like in them and keep the Mil Brass for the mil guns)

I doubt you could see it with a calipers as the edges are not that sharp and you can easily see a thousandth or two difference and the whole range of head spacing is only a few thousandths (amazing they can get it that close.

Doing a trail load is more definitive and is the rubber meeting the road.
