How do the reloads feel as compared to the factory loads?
Are they noticeably weaker in recoil?
If so, maybe the brass is not expanding as it should, and powder is coming back into the chamber around the cases.
More than likely the cure is find another source of reloaded ammo, if you want to continue using reloads.
