I have had a few insidents of failure to return to battery with my reloads, maybe 2-3 rounds out of 50, and this has never happened using factory ammunition. All it taked to return to battery is a very very light push with my thumb.
The rounds that I have checked drop easily into the barrel and my OAL is very consistant, last batch was 1.127 +/-0.001, better than factory loads I have checked. My loads were a little on the light side, 165 grain plated FP, loaded with 7.4 grains of HS-6. Brass was all run through Lee's bulge buster as it was range pickup to begin with.
What should I be looking for? As the rounds seem to fit the barrel just fine, could something be going on with the extractor? I suspect this since I did have 1 round that would not go into battery even with pressure, I saved this round and it easily dropped into my barrel. It seemed that it would not slide into the extractor fully, seemed strange to me?
