Charging handle won’t pull back with live round in to extract

When I load a mag it racks fine but then take out mag and pull on extracted it’ll budge like a millimeter then won’t pull any further. Then I mortar to get it out, then mag back in , rack, charging handle won’t pull back. I cleaned out the whole a bit with some brass wiring and then a cloth one but still having the issue. I never had this issue before on a range day a year ago, but brought her to the range yesterday and was running 4 mags fine then last one it jammed up on so had to mortar it. Put her down for the day after then cleaned it when I got home and now everytime having the problem. I’m still newish to it all.
