    Chambered one and the bolt closed but it did need a wee bit of pressure to close. Ejected and inspected case and the case mouth was slightly pinched.
    So stood that case and one other next to an unfired round and it appears that the resized cases are a tad longer so will need trimming.
    Have some dial calipers so measured sized cases. They are between 2.720 and 2.724 except for one which is 2.715. After a quick Google it sounds like the spec is 2.714 so I guess that explains the pinched mouth.
    So definitely need trimming then...
