Cody, just a quick FYI (no disrespect) a 12 stage main match with a 4 stage mini match and speed rifle side match will exceed 200 rounds easy if you play a lot with the side matches........Just saying.......RT

Having given it some additional thought. If your new rifle has a slightly larger chamber than your old one. You could experiment a bit with your load recipe using the new rifle and try to get a little more pressure to expand the case more. Perhaps a little more powder or a different powder and/or the next heavier bullet in your caliber.
I noticed one suggestion was to measure and compare the fired cases from each rifle. Good idea, but if my guess is correct you'll find the diameters to be the same.
I found out the hard way that my '92 has a much larger chamber than my '73 when I tried a suggestion of just neck sizing my brass. The neck sized brass from my '92 was very hard to chamber in the '73, they would go in but took a lot more force. Now I use a Redding Dual Sizing die and it works great. Since I insist on shooting .45s, blowback and regular gun cleaning are just a way of life. Good luck
