RE: .243 won't chamber
The Hornady cases are once fired, then reloaded. Most of the other cases have been fired 4-5 times and some I bought off ebay 5-6 years ago and was told they were once fired, but I don't really know. I have access to another die I will try. If they still don't work, I'll pitch them. Thanks for all the replies.

RE: .243 won't chamber
Did you try resizing one and trying it before reloading it? A friend was having trouble with his 270 not chambering some of his reloads OAL and rest of specs were ok. He could force them to chamber then they would be okit turned out that the crimp was swelling the cases enough to make them not chamber right. Just a thought.
