Sounds like to me, if you are having problems with the base in the shell holder, you loaded the last batch too hot and they expanded the case too much.

If they won't go into the shell holder, then they expanded too much and the primers would probably just fall out once you got them reprimed.

I just had a few Rem 22/250 cases just do that also, but the entire 100 all had the same load, and that load was 5 grains below the recommended maximum!

So if you did not load them too hot, it just could be crappy QC at Rem or whoever made those cases on that LOT number.

Cheers and Good shooting

Wonder if it was a tight fit in your chamber that pushed pressures above normal??
