the 200eldx's- are you measuring to ogive or to tip? check that your not in to the lands at mag length
depending on how old they are Hornady had a few issues with differing ogives on some of the early batches and was screwing with my loads too.

These are fairly new, definitely weren't jammed into the lands, I measure to the ogive.
My jam or ogive measurement is 2.300" I was seated at 2.244" so effectively 56 thou off the lands not close by anyone's standards
The new ladder I had to work backwards as I only had a COAL measurement of a factory loaded round which was 2.875" COAL which worked out at 2.165" ogive.
Ughhh new barrel and new brass.....I'd rather workmwith a fouled barrel and 2x or 3x fired brass
Tomorrow is a new day and I'm confident I'll get to the bottom of things
