What did I do wrong???

What do you guys think about the "ZIP TRIM POWER HEAD" made by Lee????
I wouldn't worry too much about this until you've got a few miles behind you in basic reloading.
Just a suggestion:
The listed "Maximum Overall Cartridge Length" in your reference material rarely corresponds to what will work in your particular rifle. Measure and mark a cleaning rod from muzzle to the bolt face in an unloaded rifle, bolt closed. Take your bullet of choice and hold it against the rifling using a plastic straw etc. Measure and mark the same cleaning rod from muzzle to bullet tip. Use the measurement between these two marks to determine your rifles OAL within a few hundredths as a starting point.
 
So, the brass that I was trying to use that wouldn't feed had been used in three different rifles. I ran each piece through the action and now have a hand full that work. I have just finished re-sizing and did three different loads. Now it's off to the range in the next few days to see how they fly.
Thank you for everyone's helpful comments and offers.

Cheers,
