Any properly loaded ammo should work

Now thinking about it. If it had enough pressure to cycle the next round it should have reset the striker, odd

I believe the striker resets way before a round is chambered

I reload, I trust my loads more than factory. With that said I agree 💯 never trust other people's reloads. Out of all my XD'S I have only had failures with 1 brand of ammo, it was Winchester steel cased.

This crap I remember feeling the friction on the steel cases just loading them into my mags. It was dirty as well I'm sure they used the cheapest components they could possibly find. Then they slapped USA Forged on the box 😂.

Keep in mind **** Happens. Iv had ammo from Respectable Manufacturers fail. It's important to think about what type of failure you just had and what to do to resolve that failure. Most people's reaction is to rack the gun and chamber a new round. Big No No! If it's a Squibb load Boom!

Lubed it enough before range time?

No No No Nnnooooo! XD's don't need to be lubed. I have proven this with a Service 9,40 Sub-Compact 9,40 & Tactical 40 - Even cleaning I have consistently gone over 2k rounds between cleanings.

Get a drop or two of lube in the striker channel

I would use WD40 and flush the striker channel it has a hole just for that.

I don't remember which one it was (XDM or XDS) but one I bought came swimming in lube from the factory. Some factory lube might have gotten into your striker channel, perhaps?

The striker channel has a flush hole.
