Did you clean factory lube from the barrel and chamber BEFORE shooting? Sometimes the lube can be sticky and essentailly "gum up". That's one possibility.

The chamber could be oversized as you mentioned or undersized. Try a different type of ammo first to rule that out. Next I'd look into the chamber dimensions.

I'm sure some more experienced folks here on TFL will kick my butt on the suggestions.

Good luck and let us know what you find out.
