In my 50 plus years of shooting and reloading I've never seen a change of bullets make such a change. I'd say you still have the problem. I recently had such an incident. I found that the base screws were too long. You could tighten them down and they would come loose after a few shots. The two screws on the front can be a problem because they can bottom out on the barrel threads. Tighten the front screw on the front base first and see if the base is tight. Do not install the other three screws if it's a one piece base. With the front screw only holding the base check to see if the base will move. Then back the screw out and check if the bottom of the screw is shiny.
