I think the slide being hard to pull back this the key.

I did get a bad batch of bullets, They did hit the lands of the rifling.
The slide stopped about 1/8" of going into full battery.
Some I could push the slide forward and others I'd have to pull so hard that the casing flew out, the powder all over the floor and the bullet dropped out of the mag well.

After that I had Extractor problems...... all caused by me.

I guess I'm out of suggestions. Sorry.

But if the bullet would hit the lands, i "should" see marks of that, right?

I don't think i noticed any, but then again, i didn't look for em either.
I'll make sure to check if it happens again, and if it does happen again, i'm keeping the problem round for post analysis.

Cleaned my brass today, all tumbled, deprimed, flash holes cleaned, lubed and ready to do a batch tomorrow.

I also got me digital caliper, had a regular one, but that's to slow to measure more things in series..

Already measured a number of shells from tomorrows batch, doesn't look like case length is an issue at all, they are all well within tolerances, there is no noticicable stretch after been fired twice (1x factory load, 1x softer reload)

Okay, let's step back and get some more info. Take the gun down, just fieldstrip it. Stick a magazine into the well and lock it in place. Now, looking down on the frame take a pic then back away a little and take another with the rails in the picture. Now, put it back together, remove the mag, lock the slide back and take a picture looking into the chamber.

Another thing, what is the overall length of your reloads? What is the overall length of the fiocchi rounds. If you could, take a pic from the side holding the barrel with the chamber straight up and a round dropped into it. Do it with both rounds.

BTW, How's Jean-Claude doing?
