"Thanks guys, I think I will just use this brass for the dpms and use different for my other rifles with another 308 die set. I have to say everyone is very helpful and thanks again."

I use quite a bit of unknown history "range brass" and sometimes encounter cases that are so large that a "belt" begins to form as the case is sized. This stuff is trash as no amount of effort will make it suitable for future loading.
In some cases, even a small base sizer won't make it right since the brass springs back enough to choke a tight chamber. I have gone as far as sizing in a standard die followed by using a small base die but will truthfully say this is wasted effort unless the cases are pretty exotic.
FWIW
I'd take the sloppy chamber issue up with DPMS as this just isn't right. If that's not an option, maybe just shoot el-cheapo steel case ammo in it as it's already buggered anyway.
PS
Another option would using berdan primed brass cased ammo and toss the cases in the recycle bucket.
