If the first mag cycled fine my first thought is that the gas block or the carrier key came loose. If they weren't secured well they could vibrate loose in the first few shots and lose seal, bleeding off gas pressure. I would start there.
Is the gas block pinned or held on with set screws? Is the carrier key staked properly? Is the gas tube aligned with the carrier key properly?
That's where I would start.
ETA: How did you develop that load? It may just be too light to reliably cycle your gun when it starts to get a little dirty. Do you know the velocity you are getting? Have you tried any other powders?
