When I had same issue with 5 grains behind 125gr cast bullet, the recoil was very light. I've shot much hotter ammo that worked fine. Weird yes. But there's no other explanation. If the slide is cycling all the way, but the case is still in the chamber, then u back off on charge. Why on earth would u increase it? What would that fix?
Now it might be you just can't get a load that works with this powder, bullet, and gun. Like Centaur 1.
If that's the case, you might wanna try a faster powder, as I have already suggested in a previous post. Your bullets are light, and they're cast. And you're using a G26, which has characteristics which I've already described. All these things suggest that a faster powder might work better. Seems like Red Dot works well for evans price.
OP, I'm not assuming you are an idiot, nor that you aren't using proper load data. I'm just guessing that load data is wrong for your gun. I've already given this issue a lot of thought, since experiencing it myself. Just sharing, and hopefully helping in the end.

If you completely ignore a fairly comprehensive and detailed explanation which has already been posted without even making an argument against it, good luck with the progress!Are we making any progress explaining why OP's G26 is not extracting the spent case while the slide is stripping the round from the magazine and powder charge is enough to lock the slide back?
