I had a similar problem (though obviously not what the OP is having), with .38SPL's not chambering. I had bumped my lee charging/expanding die and it was putting a hell of a flare on the end of the case.
Did u ever figure out what was going on with your reloads? I've thought more about it and I'm thinking that it must have something to do with the range(I'm assuming mixed brands) brass. If it's "glocked" that is, fired from an unsupported chamber such as some Glocks have, the brass will be bulged more at the bottom and cannot be resized with standard reloading dies or so I'm told due to the shell holder getting in the way.
I've had a lot of reloads that look like yours, but as long as they fit in a chamber guage they will shoot just fine. When they don't fit in the guage, pull the bullet and chunk the brass... Anyway hope things are working better for you!
