Quote History Quoted:
The fired shells all got mixed together so last night I took the fired cases and put each one in the chamber. I did find one that went in easy but had to be tapped back out. I resized and trimmed all the cases and tried them in the chamber, all where easy to extract only two of the cases had any real trimmings come off the mouth. Most only hagd the cutter head just touch the mouth of the case and others didn't need any trimming. I have some other store bought reloads from local store and will try them to see how they compare.

Your conversion's chamber is probably just a little shorter/tighter than the typical mil-spec.
My early Serbu (Lothar/Walther barrel) is like that, and will be hard to extract at times with 'factory' ammo. No pressure issues, just that the brass gets a few thousandths longer when fired and gets 'jammed' into the chamber when the case mouth expands into the end of the chamber lip where the throat begins. Most mil-spec cases are crimped into the cannelure of the bullet, and that extra bit can make the case longer when fired, even when pressures aren't stretching the case body much.
I've found that trimming my brass to 3.89" for that rifle will keep extraction easy no matter what the load.
