22-250 probelms

You might also be setting the crimp die a little too low. If you do, it will bulge out the case at the shoulder. Chamber an empty but fully resized case. If if chambers easily but has problems after you seat the bullet, check for a bulged shoulder.

Rounds are once fired brass, trimmed to length, full length resized, OAL is 2.350 inches.

All my factory rounds load fine they have a OAL of 2.320 I thought maybe my handloads were to long but that dosent explain why some load and some dont. Bullets are 50 gr speer spitzer sp.

Any help would be great.
had the same problem make sure your shoulder is .4142, this is from lyman spec book, if the shoulder is to far off the case will not lock down throw them out.
