I know I said I was closing this thread, but this group gets so much more attention than the other one
. I hope no one is offended by this cross post.
I've finished a serious cleaning of my bolt and chamber. I removed everything, soaked, steamed, oiled, and put back together. I used gunk remover and mineral spirits. The chamber was pretty dirty still. So I'm glad I did this. I got in there with q tips to make sure everything was polish.
When I reassembled the bolt it seemed to go back together "easier". Maybe it's because I've done it a few times now.
So now I still have the same original problem. But I also have a new problem of the bullet flipping up when trying to chamber a round. The backside kicks up if I load slow.
Here are two videos demonstrating the issues. The first is the round not entering the chamber. It's always the bottom round. When I go to the range I now load a dummy round first just to get around this issue.

The second video is demonstrating the round kicking up.
