There is a reason RCBS makes Shiloh Sharps .40-65 dies !!!!!
BECAUSE normal dies will not compress the cases enough and they do not rebound enough in the Match chambers and they stick.
A match chamber is made with high precision for enhanced accuracy and consistency in competitive shooting. 
Usually a match chamber is on the tight side of specs in just about all dimensions.
It also has a short leade and tight throat resulting in the fixed ammunition fitting close to the lands in a more centered position.
A match chamber helps the bullet lie in the chamber in a more concentric fashion to the bore of the rifle.

Well, after our schutzen match today, went down to Dad's house. The cases he sized would chamber, but when I closed the block, would not eject. Marked a case with a sharpie and chambered it and the base was the problem. I screwed the Shiloh die in the press, resized, and voila, it ejected! It seems that he did not size the case far enough down. He is going to load up a couple rounds and take them to the range Monday to test fire. Hopefully they eject fine so he can load up more for our match coming up!

sometimes the smallest thing can cause the biggest problems.
