Just a break in period for a new gun? I was shooting 115gr so i also considered it couldve been light ammo but like i said it started working fine after a couple mags.
Typically fail to lock back is operator error.. Riding the release by accident.
I suppose it could be a breaking if it stopped failing. I'd take a look at the internals now and polish the contact parts to make it run smoother.
Could also be a weak spring, but doubt that's it.
Magazine follower getting jammed and not pushing up lever.. Don't think it would be this, but it could happen.
Ammo as well.
