Luger Failure to feed

The toggle will not close on factory rounds or my reloads. My first thought was that my reloads were the problem as this is the first reloading I've done for a pistol, although I'm quite experienced with reloading bottle necked rifle rounds. Both reloads and factory rounds drop into the chamber freely and fall out again when the barrel is tipped up. In watching some animations of the P08 action it looks to me like the extractor should spring over the rim before the round is fully chambered and I get the impression the extractor is the loaded chamber indicator. Am I correct? If so this makes me think it is most likely the extractor. Hopefully I'll have time this evening to take the pistol apart and determine the problem. Fingers crossed.
