Happens with my 16 gauge and 12 gauge loaders all the time.....usually with Remington and European high brass hulls. A little tug and they pop right out.
My older MEC (from the late 70's) would have major problems with sticky high brass hulls. My solution was to go to the dollar store and get a cheap cresent wrench. I would adjust the cresent wrench so it fit the base of the hull, slide it down to the rim, then give it a couple of light taps with a plastic mallet. They would usually pop out without any problems, although the case might have a ding in the brass.....they still loaded and fired fine.

does the high brass make a difference?

Not sure if your asking if the high brass makes a difference in the shell, or the loader.....yes, the brass makes the difference for the sticking, but you don't need a high brass hull for a heavy load; the high brass was necessary in the old days of paper hulls, but nowadays is purely a cosmetic feature.
