What's the speed of your reloads?

Sounds suspiciously like the slide is not getting enough rearward speed to make the ejector kick the empty out. That leaves the empty hanging out there for the next round to press upward on it. It would then by "held" between the extractor on one side, the breechface cuts on the top and other side, and the following cartridge on the bottom.

Can you yank the slide back hard after this jam and get the empty to eject? If so, you may need to increase your powder charge...

But ONLY IF you're still within published load data from Alliant AND there are no high pressure signs on your primers.

Standard disclaimers apply. Life is not without risk. It wouldn't be worth living if it were!
