The firing pin doesn't strike the primer hard enough and the unfired rounds that kick out show and indentation in the primer. I was able to reload them and they fired the second time.
If you have any of that ammo left, check the primers of any unfired rounds. Then compare them to a fired casing.

You might find the primers are not seated deep enough and the initial firing pin strike seats the primer. The second firing pin strike then sets the round off.
