Your strike plate is too far forward. Move it back a quarter inch, you may need to drill/chisel into the jamb to allow for the bolt to seat into the strike plate hole properly

Thanks for the reply. That would still be the case if the bottom of the door was more flush?

Something is out of plumb then. Compare plumb of both sides of jamb.

My level is showing plump on each side inside the frame and in the face. Any thoughts on where would be off with this kind of issue?

Top or bottom hinge might be set too far forward or back.
