I've got a bit of an update. I went ahead and shot them to see if it helped. Mostly because that was the option that included smoke. I had to help them in the chamber but it was all by hand - no hammers etc. It closed hard a couple times, but extraction was MUCH easier. They must have been out of round from the vibe is all I can figure. I can still see a noticeable bulge near the front of the cases and will be sizing them back before any real hunting. I don't have my calipers handy to check dims but will report back with specifics.
If I had this to do all over I might have bought RMC brass to start with, but look at the fun I would have missed. I wanted ~50 cases and started with the old greener police gun brass because I found some for cheap then kept adding more, before I knew it I had too many (too many dollars invested) to change over to RMC. The RMC brass takes true gauge size wads like a muzzle loader and the thin walled drawn stuff takes one size up - just didn't want to have to keep 2 sizes of components.
Thanks for all the comments - keep em coming.
