I had similiar issues with a new LMT and some reloads I had for a bolt gun. While they cycled fine in the Bolt Action every 50 rounds or so I would have one stick in the LMT as you have mentioned here. Usually the mortaring trick was sufficent to extract....but one occasion required more drastic action.
Carefully checking case webs with a Micrometer showed that my full length sizer wasn't properly sizing the casing around the web area.
I now use a Small Based Sizer Die for anything that will be ran in the AR.
