This has happened a few times.

Today at the range I shot 100 rounds and this happened about 4 times.
Reasons?

You're not fully cycling the action. Simple as that

It started cycling when you started being mean to it.

Don't be gentle, but do two separate moves instead of a quick 1-2. Down hard, verify ejection, up hard.
