What can I do? Buy new brass? If so, would my load be different going from adg to norma? I first lot of adg and I'm not too happy with it. The brass that wouldn't chamber was also tight and sticking when I was resizing.

The thread is well on it way now so I haven't anything to add except to say I always try my brass in the chamber after full length sizing.
Seen the odd hunting mate unable to close the bolt on a reloaded round whilst out on a hunt. If the case cannot then be extracted hunt ends.
Likewise on the fullbore range. Guys hammering bolts shut, or open again with wooden mallets. Some of those guys claim to be experienced handloaders.
It only takes a moment to cycle your prepped brass before moving on to charging and seating.
