    Get a head space comparator and check the head space between unfired (brass that chambers) and fired (brass that doesn't even after being sized) at least then you'll know and won't be chasing your tail.
    I definitely remember having this issue when I first started reloading my 270wsm a few years back and it was fixed by just screwing the die down a little further as others have suggested.
