back enough to have the feeding round presented properly to feed up the ramp.

Check your reloads to insure proper headspace, by pulling barrel out and place rounds into chamber, if the case-head is equal or slightly above the barrel hood, then good, if below then the firing pin is traveling far and wasting it impluse before hitting the primer.
light grease on the rails insure full travel of slide and minimum loss of slide velocity.
