The cases might not have been properly resized, if the supplier did that. If you resized, are you using a carbide die? Have you adjusted it properly?

Also, you might check o.d. at mouth of loaded round. It should be about .470". Have a look at your oal. Using a 200 grain swc, what bullet are you using, oal should be about 1.260. Someone mentioned "barrel checking" your ammunition. This is a good idea, or obtain a case/cartridge gage.

Hope the foregoing helps.
