Doubs,

Yes, you do occasionaly get odd cases like this where something fails to work for reasons having to do with design shortcomings rather than any inherent weakness. I am presently contending with this in 45 Colt, where the SAAMI chamber is oversized to the detriment of accuracy and case life. The oversized chamber is a hangover from the days of black powder when you had to leave room for the fouling to maintain reliable reloading.
