I was thinking that it perhaps could be that the rims were too thick, so I sacrificed a hull and sanded the head down a little... no help. Any ideas guys? I've not had this issue with my 12's
Today's Remington 10 ga hulls have steel heads (unlike Federal 10ga hulls that use brass). The steel heads may have some memory and expand a little after resizing. If you can adjust your resizer to squeeze the head even smaller I would try that. If you are using a MEC reloader with a collet resizing ring replace it, the wear over time. Federal hulls with their brass heads give the least amount of trouble in guns with tight chambers but I understand they can be hard to find.
