Does the entire upper receiver/cannon slide easely off the lower?

Yep, everything slides really easy when you disassemble and reassemble so I don't thing anything is there is out of whack. The action works perfectly fine when working it without ammo.

That sounds like something I need to check. While I was shooting, I got the impression that it didn't have quite enough inertia to **** the firing pin. Once the action stops, the cartridge is already held by the extractor and it's just a matter of giving the toggle a push to **** and close the action. It the extractor is dirty ot bent out of shape, it could lose momentum right there and stop after the cartridge is seated on the breech face.
Again, the action works properly when working it unloaded, so whatever this is must be something happening around the bullet (i.e. not the mag, not the rails etc).
By the way, it would be nice if the moderators would take the word "****" off of the list of words to auto delete. It's kind of useful on a gun forum.
