I had a few FTE this weekend with my reloads in my Kimber Gold Match II (internal extractor), see attached pic. The empty brass did not eject, the slide came back pushing the case up against the barrel hood. A couple of times, the only way to get the brass out was to slightly nudge the case down so that it would go back into the chamber, then rack the slide back where it ejected.
My loads are 200gr Berrys RN with 5.7gr of W231, OAL 1.235 and mixed headspace brass.
Ideas on possible causes? Lighter recoil spring maybe? 16# is standard, maybe a 14#? The GM is fairly new, and the extractor is not chipped. TIA
