Looking at that pic your bullet was jammed into the rifling for sure.
You've got a super short throat on that rifle.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that but I've had the same problem before. Also happens with over torqued/overly long action screws sometimes.

if it cycles fine with no ammo then you know it's not a problem with the screws.

Touching for sure but I wouldn't say jammed. If it were jammed, most likely it would have stuck there when he pulled the case.

It just seems to me, if it were jammed into the lands that much, the Mark's would be all the way around the bullet not just in one place

Never Never force a bolt close, Bolt might gall the lugs or receiver or both, and that
once they are galled , they allows be galled,this will cause a bolt drag during cycling,

Ever thought about that there might be an issue with the factory ammo? The so called Delta - L problem, which means in reality that the delivered ammunition was manufactured with maximum tolerances, but your chamber has those of minimum. Happened often and is happening still.
Wondering what your over all opinion of the Bergara is?

Factory ammo wont chamber
