Your round is running up the frame ramp and the nose is stopping against the sharp edge formed by the bottom of the barrel ramp.
I am not sure if the coating on the shoulder is being scraped off at the chamber entry or at the rifling origin.
Congratulations on saving the faulty round to show, so many of them get rammed into the gun and shot.
You can, as we have been saying, tinker with OAL and hope for better results.
You can change bullets. There are several different nose profiles to try. Roundnose is the least challenging.
MBC makes the "Oddball" 200 grain roundnose. It feeds well in my guns. It gives the same ballistics as SWC, only your gun can tell you if it is as accurate. It is a flatbase and will require more casemouth flare than the usual bulk bevel base.

There are also 200 gr plated roundnose from Xtreme

And a 185 gr hollowbase roundnose from Berry

Or you can just surrender and shoot 230 gr roundnose at low velocity. That is what I have done for most of my .45 shooting. Everybody makes them and the guns were designed for them. I shoot with the maker of BBI Coated bullets and his products are as good as any. I do load some SWCs and HPs as specialty items but the roundnose is good for bulk ammo to be shot in any gun.
