Blackhawk 41 GNR issue

I'm looking for suggestions. I picked up a Blackhawk 41mag with the 41GNR cylinder you worked in 2002. It appeared to be unfired or maybe just a few rounds. I'm having issues with the cases not fully seating in the cylinder. It's very hard to rotate the 41GNR cylinder and you have to help it when cocking the gun. The case heads are dragging on the breach face and it looks to me that where the shoulder meets the neck it is getting a line from the chamber. I'm full length sizing with a Hornady die and shell holder. Thank you in advance for any help.
