I tried unloading my handgun and the tip was jammed up in the barrel somehow. Had to pry out with my Spyderco. Got it out and the round fell out of the cartridge.  Ticks me off. - Bullrun

Factory ammo?  How many times was it chambered/un-chambered?

What he said. I use speed gold dots and federal HST, never had an issue with either.

I would say you need to do a "plunk test" on these cartridges and your barrel.

Never had issues with 115gr GDs in the past. It's been my carry load for years.

Ive seen this with some 9mm handguns and long 147Gn JHP ammo. when unloading the gun the OAL of the live round is too long to properly eject. Glock redesigned their 9mm bbls for this reason between the Gen1 and Gen2 9mms

Check. Another reason why Glock is better.

I was shooting my 340pd with .357 loads and after the second round the cylinder was locked up tight.  The third, fourth and fifth rounds had all "walked" out and jammed the gun up.
Because of the recoil the kinetic energy just started pulling the bullets out of the case.
I have since switched to +P loads and haven't had the problem.
