My guess is it will likely run more reliably with NATO spec ammunition than it does with the cheap 115 grain stuff. My personal recommendation when you get it back would be to run two to four hundred rounds of the 124 grain NATO stuff through it before switching back to the cheap stuff and see how that goes.

The load should have NO EFFECT on whether the extractor properly grasps and holds the case rim.
The OP could just try chambering and extracting live rounds from the loaded mag (without firing them) to see if the extractor is up to the task. And if any rounds don't extract properly, examine those case rims to see if there are any irregularities.
It really seems like an extractor issue.
