New drums or old? Did you measure the drums with a drum mic if they are used? Remove the shoes and place them in the drum, do they "fit" the drum or can you rock them in the drum when you place pressure against the machined surface of the drum? If a drum is oversized it will not have the same arc as the shoes, this is where arcing brake shoes used to come in years ago.
