That would suggest a couple of things to me. Either an insufficient action spring or a sharp barrel extension where the edges of the 5 and 7 O'Clock locking recesses are 'biting' the jacket of the bullet and/or possibly a rough feed ramp. just enough of a problem when the bolt is released from the bolt catch but not enough to stop it when released from full compression.
I wll say this much, on every barrel I mount, I break the edges on these recesses with some small diamond dust files and then dremel-polish the shit out of the feed ramps and the edges of the 5 and 7 O'Clock recesses.
