Unclenick,thats some good info

.Daniel Boon,I would send the dies+brass in and have them sized to match your chamber.That would help with your brass life and maybe accuracy as well as possible safety(less chance of head-case seperation)..Timrb,That is a good point as well IMO.Also,,Maybe he is seating the bullets and crimping them to far out(maybe bumping into the rifling)and keeping the bolt from closing consistently.just a thought
Oh and Daniel BOON,As far as I know ,Most semi-auto's(like my ar15 in 223)don't need small base dies.Not experienced with the other rifles and calbers though so I could be wrong.

Daniel Boon,Have you checked a chambered round to see if it is slightly touching the rifling??It could be enough to keep your bolt from closing consistently.I would also double check your case length(likeTimrb mentioned)to see if its to long.
