Here I am, beating my personal dead horse again. This topic is an illustration of why one should lightly lubricate cartridge cases when it really counts.
As in the stock market, timing is everything here. If carrier movement is a bit early, chamber pressure will be higher than optimum for easy extraction. A higher pressure than normal round can do this. Also, if the chamber or the round is dirty there will be more than the usual resistance to extraction. And, if the case is softer than normal the same will happen causing the brass to stick to the walls of the chamber as the round is extracted. Imagine what would happen if all three happened in unison.
Lightly lubing your brass eliminates all of these issues.
