Thanks again for all the help and comments, even the ones poking a little fun at me. Those are good for a laugh and to remind me not to take myself too seriously.
An unexpected benefit of this was to get me to correctly define what the actual problem was, i.e., rounds not chambering or being hard to eject, as opposed to cases sticking in the chamber. Hard to figure out a solution when you haven't even correctly defined the problem.
Appreciate the comment on not shaving the shell holder down. Wouldn't have thought of that. Also appreciate the encouragement from you successful reloaders.
There is more than just saving money involved here, although that was the primary motivation. I wanted to develop a skill set that would make an interesting hobby as well as having a practical application. Then there is always the "prepper" concept that considers that there may be a time when ammo is hard to get. That gets into a whole other set of considerations that would take their own thread, but it does require this skill set before you can even get to the other considerations.
Had some other issues that kept me from working on this problem the last few days, but I will get back to you all when I get more results.
