dillon 550 shell plate too tight for .223

[Joe88XJ]

I have a dillon 550 that I installed the .223 caliber conversion. My problem is that the .223 brass fits too tightly into the 4 U shaped slots that hold the brass, the shells wont kick out at the last station into the tray. I have the number 3 plate and pins so I have the right stuff but they seem too tight. Shell plate bolt is properly tightened. the tightness is in the half moon seeming to be too tight or rather too small, anybody have any input on this?
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

The shellplate maybe out of spec. or the case rims are damaged or otherwise out of spec.

Does it happen on different headstamp brass or just one make?

If all brass, than the shell plate is out of spec, give Dillon a call. If just one headstamp, than that brass is "nonstandard" and Dillon can't help.

Its a brand new shell plate and the brass is remington once fired brass.
