    my old eyes see something that MAY be causing issue..... the last bit of chamber is smooth...the front is not...so a case when fired will expand and grip the chamber walls...but the rear bit can move...so with chamber maybe a tiny bit too long,if the front gripped first,then the rear moved till rear stopped by face of action..the bit of brass just back from the line will get stretched....
    as you not intending to reload.....the now stretched brass isnt an issue as such but broken cases will be....maybe try some steel case barnaul????? it may be more forgiving????
    keep us informed as to what gunny has to say PLEASE.
