Default It ain't the brass.....

Skrazy:

If the brass isn't split, bulged or damaged in any way and it sizes and loads a bullet and chambers, it's good brass.

Bum primers?

Very low charge weight? Or MISSING powder charges? A primer alone has enough power to push a bullet into the barrel.

Plugged flash hole in the primer pocket? Walnut shells can do it as can other tumbling media.

Sometimes it's good to tap on a powder measure and hopper when its in the fill position break up bridging. A baffle helps that too, but I still like to knock it a couple times. Besides breaking up bridging if done consistently it can also give more uniform powder throws.
