In theory, if a case works in the case gauge, you should be good. In reality, that's not always the case. Your chamber could be tighter, and / or need a case with a slightly shorter shoulder. Your new brass was apparently okay, but perhaps your second loading reveals the need for a die adjustment. Just a thought...
And FWIW, 28.4gr of 8208 in Hornady brass with mag primers would be excessively hot in my barrel. I use 27.7gr in that scenario.
