I can only get it to happen by hand if I go quickly enough and even then only occasionally. I tried it so many times my fingers can’t grasp the slide anymore.
I thought of the load being too light, but Lyman lists 4.0g starting and 5.0 as max for 228g cast RN. So my 4.5g should be about in the mid range as should the 1.250 OAL. In spite of that I just loaded 21 rounds each at 4.7g and 4.9g, for testing next trip to the range.
