As an update, I did have the same stickiness with my 586 L-Comp today from the same box of American Eagle, I didn't even bother trying it on the M&P R8 as it is now the last clean revolver I own.

Get a supply of Starline cases , brand new ones . These will be properly made . I recently purchased 200 brand new cases to replace my old , range picked up , odds and ends of mixed headstamp brass . The Starline stuff is top shelf , proper alloy and properly treated...it's tough and will handle magnum loads.
Don't exceed maximum published load data. I am assuming you reload, if not , it might be a combination of low-cost ammo and chamber roughness.
If you are still having problems with extraction , look at the chamber walls they might need polishing.
