I loaded up and went to the range south of Nampa. I took my Axis in 22-250. I only took 50 rounds. I was sighting in a new scope. I shot about 10 rounds when my bullets would not fully chamber. What I found was that I was using bullets from a prior gun. Most of theses bullets were only neck sized and not full length sized. I learned my lesson. Full size every time.
Sorry, just ranting.

I always full length size to begin with for each gun. After they are fireformed to that particular chamber you can neck size. Neck sizing doesn't "work" the brass as much. I have had the same thing happen to me. Not all rifles are chambered the same, even in the same caliber/caetridge. If you only load to factory specs then you don't have that problem but I like to load my bullets out as far as the chamber and magazibe will let me.

I tried that in my AR and didn't find much help. In fact, my most accurate rounds with V-max are 2.215 for the 40 grain pills. That gun evidently likes them to jump.

Yeah, every gun is different. Most like the bullet to be seated close to the lands but a few like a little jump, some shoot better with a dirty barrel. You just have to experiment with your particular rifle.
