looking for a few ideas, I have lots of fired brass for 22-250, also several reloads that came with the rifle, they are hard chambering and require some force to get the Encore to lock up, some fire and some do not, I have other brass that I sized, trimmed to length and they work great, easy lock up and fire great every time, loaded a couple times and no issues.

pulled 20 rounds of the loaded rounds, sized and reloaded they still are difficult to chamber and lock up, they do fire, reloaded several of the brass that came with the rifle and same issue hard to lock up.

at this time I do not have a case gauge to do simple checks but I am not seeing the issue, I have had 1 in 10 necks split when sizing, not seeing this with my own brass.

any ideas why both brass are sized but having issues with just the one batch of brass?
 
Sounds like your not quite full length resizing. The shoulder is still a bit too long. Try turning you die 1/4 to 1/2 turn further down into the press. I had the happen lots with found range brass. Anything that has only been fired in my gun never has an issue.
 
You have 2 issues
hammer wont #### or misfires you need to bump the shoulder back more
Hard chambering, you need to size the base more. measure just forward of the web and make sure this sizes down when resizing. Small base die works best
In the TC platform, you need a little space or the interlock will prevent firing or cocking of the hammer.
Different brands of brass can have slightly different measurement at the base also
