Odd. I have used a lot of those over the years, never have had

Yeah.
I've run across some that go in pretty tight when using specified
drill size. And still have some plugs that aren't tapered.
Only thing I can figure is the end catching on hole in the stud
somehow, or it's too big for the drill size.
The drywall gives way but the wood doesn't.
Finding wood there I'd toss the plug anyway
