1. Ram coming into contact with primer holding disk meaning the disk is out of alignment.
2. The powder dropping linkage has come out of adjustment and the spring is being asked to compress beyond where the coils touch one another and cannot compress farther.
3. The priming ram is coming into contact with the disk that holds the cartridge.
