If not the extractor claw and spring probably need a clean and lube. Otherwise... Yeah probably an over pressure and they expanded too tight to come out smoothly. I have heard that they run hot. Which is pretty dangerous.

I had it happen once with an 870 and a 3 inch 12 gauge Remington hevi shot shell when they first introduced Hevi Shot. Shot and crippled a bird and I could not pump the action back to eject to get another shell in the barrel. Watched him flop off with the 10 hens he was accompanying. They crossed a road and went through a section of set out pines. When the 10 hens exited the Pines into a huge field the Tom was not with them. Searched for 2 days and could not find him in thick woods.

I checked with micrometers and the brass was swelling in the chamber. I had to quit using them.Probably the high pressure is swelling the Nitro brass too.
