I usually run a bore snake down the barrel a few times after shooting, then a few dry patches on a rod, then a patch with oil, then a few more patches.
I might well have dinged it by rod or by dry firing--probably both.
But Old Jeff, you are correct--the answer to my 64 cent question was "burrs in the chamber." My gunsmith found them, then cleaned it up and then replaced the extractor as well.
Now all is better.
I'm still not excited about the lube, but I am beginning to see the beauty of it.

thanks for the info, guys!
