This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But it's also very possible & likely that the chamber edge was not properly chamfered, especially if the breech was faced off to set headspace on a pre-chambered barrel.............a sharp edge will result & needs to be chamfered.

If not, it will scratch the case on both loading as well as extraction.
