    So just to be clear it's only happening when there is a round and not on an empty chamber? Sounds like a headspace problem if that's the case. Pickup a set of the Hornady headspace gages that measure off your shoulder and attach to calipers.

    Yep
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
