Just shooting at possibilities here, but here goes.
For about $15.00 you can get a 5.5mm Android Borescope Inspection HD camera. You can run that up the barrel and see if you have a cylinder not lining up with the forcing cone. One possibility is you're shaving lead and causing a bullet to not behave as the others. These cameras aren't as wonderful as true bore scopes or high dollar systems, but they'll let you peek at the alignment of the barrel and cylinder holes. The adjustable light will also let you see how well you are or are not cleaning. Plus, they're just kind of handy to have around the house. And they are available for non-android type phones- check Amazon.

Another possibility might be that you goobered the crown when using that lead remover? I doubt it, as I would think all rounds would go wonky.
