At least you found the problem. How does the chamber look? You will enjoy shooting it. They are very accurate. I use a .458 430gr gg boolit. Works awesome.
The chamber has light surface rust and some minor imperfections where the neck was stuck. I think some more cleaning will take most of it out
That must be where the term dutchman comes from!

The brass decided to go Dutch after the shot.
