Yeah sounds like it's just short stroking, mine does once in a while if I let it get to gummed up. If a good scrubbing and different ammo don't work I'd tear apart the trigger group and give it a good cleaning and look over.

What ammo and magazine?
What if you shoot once and release the trigger. Then push the trigger forward (resetting it), and try again?
If seen a few that the pin for the trigger is too short and it works itself over to one side.
Buy a drillbit the right size and cut to proper length to remedy that problem.

Sounds to me like the action isn't going back far enough to #### the hammer, or.. the firing pin is gummed up.
Have you pulled the entire rifle apart and cleaned it? I mean removed the firing pin, cleaned the receiver the whole 9?????
I'd bet that's the issue.....

IF you are baffled, that is why I strongly suggest that you completely field strip the rifle! That way you can physically see if there is gum and grim any where, or abnormalities.
I'm a firm believer in a complete field strip quite often. IF you tear it apart and the firing pin slot appears clean then well... you know. OR you could blast brake clean in and air hose out if you feel uncomfortable removing. But I would certainly tear it rite apart (entire rifle). Your guide rod could be possibly causing the issue as well if it's gummed up, causing the bolt not to slide back far enough.... This is essential to keep clean as well in my opinion.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Have you tried CCI minimags and see if it cycles differently.
Well.. Let's see. Fires, cycles, and won't fire the next round which got chambered (ejected live round), manually cycled and then fires.
Is it possible that the return spring isn't closing the bolt fully on the new round? If you take the rifle out to the "field" and try getting it to repeat this issue - fire it once, LOOK at the action - is it closed completely?
Is it possible that the barrel isn't lined up completely right so the extractor isn't going into it's slot under normal spring pressure, but does when you manually close it.
Another "test" fire the rifle, push the bolt handle forward -does the bolt move forward or is the action fully closed? If the bolt moves forward, it's not completely closed. Check the barrel alignment to ensure the ejector goes where it's supposed to..
My thoughts, anyway. A "field strip" may or may not fix this if you don't RnR the barrel.

Check the trigger and disconnector engaugement had a simlar problem with a friends rifle .come to find out the tip of the trigger shoe was dragging on the inside of the trigger guard preventing the trigger and disconnector from reconnecting .
