Question on case size and resizing issues

I was reloading some rounds tonight and had something happen I never had happen before. First, my brass is once fired from my rifle, 25 wssm A-bolt. I full length resized all. Second, all the seating depths have been used before. My legnths are from the ogive, not the tip. 1.830 for Hrndy SST 1.820 for Speer 120gr BT. Depending on bullet thats .015-.030 from the lands. Again have shot this length before does not touch rifling. Well, the problem is on some more than others, the bolt has ressistance when I cam over, or lower the bolt handle down. NO marks on bullet, it looks like it is putting marks on the shoulder. I double checked bullet length several times. I had resized these months ago, I did put the FL sizer in the press and it did look as if the ring had moved and the die was up enough to see some air between the shell holder and bottom of the die. Didn't have feeler gauge with me but I would guess .015-.020. The once fired brass was various powder charges when fired, some starting loads others near(or at max), may that be the reason some are more difficult and others are not even a problem to chamber?
A little long, but thanks forany input.
