    The issue is almost certainly the bottom of the case (head/ web area) has expanded to fully reach the chamber dimensions. If FL sizing doesn't fix the problem without shifting the shoulder too much ( say 5 thou max), you need to use a small base die before running the cases through their std resizing.
