check your primers.  i had some loads that were cratering primers badly and the barrel was sticking.  i switched from cci to winchester primers and it stopped.

Check your brass for pressure signs.   You might be bumping the shoulder back when resizing allowing the case to expand more when fired.  I had a similar problem with my .308win.   I started neck sizing and it went away.
