I have been working up a load for M&P10 using onced fired LC 11 full length resized brass with 168g SMK bullets. 4-5 rounds out of 16 did not chamber completely and when pulled trigger, hammer would fall but no bang. I had to use wooden handle to push against charging handle to extract shell. These cases had no primer intention. I marked rounds to check dimensions if someone could give me and idea besides COA and brass length to check. I don't havea 308 cartridge case gage. Previous reloads chambered and fired and also new factory ammunition chambered and fired okay.

 

Any suggestions as to what may be the problem. Thanks

You may need a small base die or you may need to grind a small bi off the top of your shell holder to get the brass in the die a little further. A case gauge would be helpful.
