I check every reload I make with a case gague ( drop the round in and out easily ) and if it drops in and out easily and is flush on the top and not extending over the bottom its fine. A case gague will quickly tell you if you have a problem on your setup or if a cartridge sticks going in or out - it may be from a hairline crack in a case that you missed. Its the last check I do before I box everything up.
