Is it the action of the round being slammed home in the chamber and the delay in the bullet's inertia allowing it to be pushed a bit deeper in the case while the case moves into the chamber every time it happens?

OR

I would think the bullet would be pulled out of the case as the case mouth contacts the step in the chamber. Like the way a kinetic bullet puller works.

And are we talking about a round chambered from the clip by cycling the bolt, or inserting it directly into the chamber and then dropping the bold on it to keep a full mag? It seems the physics would be different for a round already in the chamber than one being stripped out of the clip.
