I believe my problem was not the shoulder being far enough back, nor the bullet being stuck, but both! after playing with the sizing die and getting a brass to seem to chamber fairly easily I then seated a bullet in the brass at 2.24, the same depth I had the other day. with no powder nor primer to be safe. I pushed the bullet down to 2.18 and viola!! it chambered like a champ, I am going to try it at 2.2. I am loading the 100 gr A-Max whic may have been getting stuck at that length ( the same as the 123 factory stuff)
I had the same issues with the 100 Amax- I had to seat them at 2.150. I thought it might be the brass at first but turned out to be the bullet.
