Reloading issue CZ sp01 hornady 147xtp

So I usually run round nose 115 and 124s. Decided to load up some xtp's and the slide isn't wanting to go into batttery then it's nearly impossible to rack. I actually had to field strip it to get the live round out.

I've loaded thousands of rounds with various fmjs never an issue

Is this an OAL issue

I'm able to run the round nose rather long like 1.130 - 1.140

With the xtps I ran 1.08 -1.110

Thoughts?

In addition to an OAL problem, sometimes the case may be bulged by the base of the bullet and cause this type of a jam. Your 147 gr bullets are seated deeper in the tapered 9mm case than 115s or 124s.  Some brands of cases may be worse than others, I had this happen in a new Barsto barrel in my 9mm Kimber. after narjung the cases I found some of the jams are caused by the bulge at the base of the bullet. I was using some 135 gr bullets of unknown origin (I've had them for years). They work fine in my 3 other 9mms.
