Come to think, the problem could also be at the other end of the cartridges.
The bullets could be sneaking out forward under recoil, and jamming the rotation of the cylinder against the barrel.
Unfortunately the only way to know this is while shooting the gun.
Both the primer and bullet problems would no doubt show up shooting DA, too, though.
But it's worth a look see.
