Do you think a rough bore / rifling etc could create pressure ?

I haven't "seen it for myself" so I'm not sure, it could possibly a mechanical issue with a new rifle

It would be strange if it is an over pressure situation with a bolt action given it can be used in an AR

That’s a good point, and the two things that I usually look for in regards to pressure - Primers and extractor marks both don’t seem to be an issue so who knows what’s going on .
