Possibilities

Where is the paint breaking?
On the bolt face, as it drops into the breech in the barrel. Fire a few off till you get a break then take the barrel off and check the bolt face.
As mentioned paint/barrel match, could be the cause and you will see the break in the barrel, with none on the bolt.

If it is breaking on the bolt.
What paint are you using, some paints become very brittle in the cold. Also if the paint is old, or become too cold it may be dimpled.
Easy way to try and eliminate a brittle paint problem is to up the dwell.

Is it breaking in the feedneck area of the breech?
Are the eyes clean?

Hope some of that helps.
