Are you handling and working the action any differently, perhaps subconsciously when trying to save spent hulls for reloading?

How many of those did you shoot? Might have been just a bad lot or two. For what it's worth, I shoot a lot of Remington ammo, and a lot of reloads using Remington hulls, and it's all worked really well for me.

Are they all in the Remington hunting hulls with the tall steel (brass-colored) cups? If so, maybe try shooting something loaded in their STS hull design, like Gun Clubs or Premier STS target loads. Should help narrow it down to an issue with a specific hull, or maybe show that it's a larger problem.
