Looking at the picture and your loads, I would have said dirty cylinder walls also. I have loaded up well past 15 grns 2400 with a 158 Jacketed with no problems in a Pre-27 and the brass just falls right out.
Clean the cylinder heavily until it gleams and then try again. My cylinders are "glossy" on the inside.

How far down will the 357 mag published loads go?
357 mag max has gone below 38 Special: "Speer 6" 1964 38 s&w special 160 gr. soft point 11 gr. 2400 "Speer 6" 1964 357 mag 160 gr. soft point 15 gr. 2400 Midway "Load map" 1999 357 mag Speer 160 gr. soft point 10.9 gr. 2400 What went wrong that Midway could get the max loads so far off and make a useless load book? They used an "Oehler System 83 and piezoelectric transducers, the latest in industry standard equipment".
