THIS ^^^ Had the same problem with my. .458S. Shoulder was not being set correctly when sizing the cases and the bolt would close far enough for the hammer to fall, but not enough to strike the firing pin.Are you checking your reloads in a gauge? This is VERY important when you're reloading for a semi auto. Case gauges are worth their weight in gold, and are not that expensive. I'm willing to bet if you do you'll find they're not fully seating in the chamber. You can get them in most any caliber. Dillon has them as well. If it goes in the gauge, it will go in the gun.

Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauges allow the user to check their cases and ammo to ensure a correct fit in SAAMI chambers. Cut to SAAMI maximum...ads.midwayusa.com
Now I check every cartridge and there are no more problems.
