Yet another question but at least this one should have a straight forward answer.

Using a Lee neck sizing die set & factory crimp die.

With straight from the box 35gn V-max .224", I size the case to be a tight interference fit that I can only just seat the bullet, but it need to be pressed home.

I was also sold what are supposed to be 40gn Hornet .224", but these arrived loose in a plastic bag, when I try them in the above sized cases the bullets are a very loose fit that will fall right in to the case if tapped on the table

It's also impossible to use the factory crimp as just the friction of being guided in also pushes the bullet back in to the case

Anyone else had this size difference ?

I would expect them to be the same fit if they are both .224" , so I'm thinking they might be .223"
