    Problem with bought "once fired" cases

    I have bought some Norma "once fired" cases, I have full sized them, but they will not chamber into my Howa 223.

    I have re-sized successfully "once fired" cases many times with no problem and cannot solve why this batch are not chambering?

    Any suggestions as to the reason?

    Thanks for any/all replies

    Will they chamber with no bullet? Check the cartridge length as I believe this can affect the position of the shoulder.

    "Once fired" cases

    No, I have not loaded a bullet into the case, I am just trying the cases fully sized without any success in chambering them.
