Try to switch out ammo. If it still does it then I'd get the barrel chamber checked. Might not be perfectly cut.
If the barrel checks out then leave it with a gunsmith to diagnose. Any issue like that tells me there is a problem and no firearm should exhibit problems.

It's good it was an isolated incident, but it points out that in today's ammo situation (manufacturers trying to fill demand), it's really important to pay attention to felt recoil and sound. If you have a round that doesn't feel or sound 'right', it's time to stop and inspect the firearm. I saw a Thompson copy have 5 (  ) .45 ACP rounds stuck in the barrel because of one low charge round that didn't clear the muzzle. The idiot was lucky the carbine didn't blow up on him.
