Shot last match on Sunday with no problems, and worked like a charm.
Glad it wasn't the shellholder/die issue that I thought it might be.
Thanks for the advice, gents!
6.5 TCU giving me fits!

The issue was indeed trying to use brass formed for an old barrel! I picked up 200 Starline .223 cases, and formed up 100 of them.

Finally got this set of dies and barrel figured out. New Starline cases, formed up nicely. Got it running, and shot a UAS 39 (didn't listen to spotter), and a UASHS 33 with no settings.
123 Hornady FMJ, 21.5 gr AA2200, CCI 400s. Range tested and found a better load - 24.5 grs H335. Looking forward to trying that out next match.
