My guess is the chamber was cut too deep or the cartridge shoulder is set back too far. When the firing pin hits the primer, it drives the cartridge deeper into the chamber -- so deep that the firing pin cannot crush the primer mix against the primer anvil and ignite the primer.

Break it open, hold it muzzle down and drop a cartridge into the chamber. Push down on the cartridge with your finger, then place a straight edge across the rear of the barrel over the chambered cartridge. If you see a daylight between the straight edge and base of the cartridge, that shows the deep chamber/shoulder set back problem.

If you find the issue noted above, you'll need a 6.8 SPC NO GO gage to determine if it is the barrel manufacturer's fault or Silver State's fault. Remington might produce longer cartridges that won't have the misfire problem. Or if you reload, you could pull the bullets, fire form the cases and reload using a neck sizing technique.
