LIb has provided some sage advice, allow me to add. You need to duplicate this. Go buy a box of high quality ammo with similar parameters such as type of bullet and weight.
Test that and see if you are having the same issue if so then look to the gun as the instigator.
Always try to duplicate your success/failures to try and isolate the reason for good/bad results.
Way back when: In my racing days I was using a Muncie 4 speed transmission and I kept breaking the 2nd gear syncro ring on the 1>2 shift at the track. I was young then and not as well traveled in life. I was telling one of my very good friends as the issue was albeit was inexpensive to fix, was a headache. Pull trans, take apart and the 2nd gear syncro ring was the most difficult to get at, replace, go race and break.
My buddy said how many times have you gone thru this? I said enough that I have wing-nuts holding my trans in and and do it in less than 1 hr in the pits. He laughed and told me to go MIC my syncro lugs. A small squarish lug (1/4x3/
that engaged the syncro ring, 1 of 3 that did so. My buddy said one is too long and it binds the syncro ring...I ran my mic on them and sure enough one was a few .0000's too long and under the stress of racing with the 1>2 shift so critical it was breaking the bronze ring.
I took a pice of 80 grit sandpaper and a few min, problem solved.
My failure was in blaming the syncro rings because they broke, they were never the problem...
