LRRPF52 has some really good suggestions ........
Are you running it wet or dry?? This problem sounds an awful lot like short stroking do to being dry/lack of lube.
If it is a fairly new AR, then you deffinitely need to run it wet. Spray down that BCG right before you fire a string. Keep it really oiled well ... at least at first.
And, if it is new, the parts do need time to break in. When brand new, the parts still have rough spots on the finish etc .... give it some time to smooth out.
The other thing I would suggest would be to run factory ammo for 50 - 100 rounds (Wolf .... it cycles the easiest). If you are not having issues with factory ammo, then it is your reloading that is a problem and not your rifle. If you still have issues with the factory ammo, then it may be your rifle. I never break in a new rifle with reloads.
