Thread: new barrel - hard to eject rounds

Almost sounds like a lack of primary extraction.

Was the brass brand new or has it been fired in another barrel?

Nope, the bolt lift being normal as per OP's first post would not indicate a PE problem.
@alphaDelta could you stick up a video showing extraction after firing if possible? Focus being on where the bolt handle hits the receiver cam on extraction.

Another thing to do would be measure the dimensions of your fired brass against unfired (the L.E Wilson Gauge is just a lazy way of doing the same thing).
