OK, the shoulder to head distance is a little long (1.571) but the good ones and the factory ammo have a similar measurement. Hmmm

I colored a bullet of one of the bad ones, chambered it, and closed the bolt as far as I dared. There are scratches in the surface in only one location. The scratches are near the neck and run in a diagonal direction. I have a bad feeling that there is *something* getting in the way, but I don't see anything. Maybe I should take it to a 'smith to take a look thru a borescope.

I will also try my friends 700 to see if he has the same problem.
