    You'd do well to heed these warnings before it ends in tears

    The signs are the evidence of gas leakage around the primer, the extractor marks on the head stamp and the sticky bolt lift.

    What you haven't mentioned is this factory ammo or reloads.

    In the meantime I'd just stick with the 150gr ammo.

    Id be taking it back to whom ever I bought if from in that case as they are not safe to continue shooting in your Rifle.

    On a warmer day these 168gr rounds may fail in a catastrophic way causing severe injury to the shooter and/ or anyone nearby.

    Can you see any evidence of head spacing issues on the empty cases?

    Cheers

    Arguing with an Engineer is like Wrestling a Pig in Mud.

    After awhile you realise the Pig loves it.
