6.5 grendel issue

[CAMPMEAT]

Is it clean ? Mine did the same type of thing and I thought it was clean. I finally got the round out, took it apart and cleaned the lugs/races (?)  with brake cleaner and then oiled it up, fixed.

There's some discussion over on another forum that might be relevant to your problem. I didn't read it all but is seems there are several different chamber versions, and now some barrels that were reamed with an out of spec. (short) reamer.

Good luck getting it sorted out.

More I read up on things I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a short chamber.  The bolt shouldn't create any problems with the round not ejecting but it's noticeably harder to eject than it should be.  I don't know if this will have anything to do with the bolt not locking up however.

Hard to extract unfired rounds is usually either a bulged case or a dirty chamber.  make sure your chamber is good and clean.  Sometimes new barrels are coated with an anti-rust material that resists everything, including gun cleaning products.  Campmeat's suggestion to use Brake Cleaner is a good one.

I have seen these before.  First measure the bolt depth. Is it 0.125 or 0.135/136? I bet it is 0.125. You almost certainly have a Type II chamber. If your bolt is 0.125 all you need is the deep one. My 'smith has a bolt he will swap you.

So quick update.
talked to Jason at BHW this morning and he said the headspacing was wrong on the barrel.  He is making me a new barrel and matching a bolt to it.  Should be a couple weeks but hopefully that fixes things.

Had a feeling it was a headspace issue. Glad they are getting it sorted out for you.

That's the exact same issue I had with my BHW barrel earlier this year (also a 6.5 G).  Makes me wonder if one of their reamers is off.
