Try using the micrometer to compair your case sizes (and bullet length) against a factory load. Also a good scrub of the inside of the cylinder occasionally doesn't do any harm.

Is this an issue with rimmed cartridges? I assumed the rim determined the spacing in relation to the firing pin. Also There may be some who keep their cylinder cleaner, but a build-up of carbon isn't the issue. I shoot at home, so generally a "trip to the range" is less than 100 rounds and happens pretty often, and I clean the weapon regularly.
Odd Job. I knew about WD-40 (actually oil in general) and while my bench is in the garage, it is not contaminated with oil. Thanks for mentioning this, because as I'm new to reloading, something like that which is obvious to veteran reloaders is exactly the kind of dumb move that I'm likely to make.
