Breechblock doesn't keep open after the last round fired

Your gun may have a weak recoil spring, the 124 grain rounds maybe cycling the action too fast, try 115 grain and see if that helps.

I know this sounds unlikely but its not unheard of. You can try the paper trick at the rear of your gun, the toggle should not destroy the paper only dent it.

Sometimes the action impacts the rear of the frame so hard it springs back beating the hold open before it comes up, this can also cause jamming as the toggle slams into the rear of the bullet causing it to jump, you then end up with a stove pipe--does this sound like what is happening to your gun?
