After further investigation...the chamber seems fine, fired brass measures out at .272/.273 and a .272 reamer was used.
But, I did find with multiple fired casings that a bullet (Barnes, Badlands and Berger) will only go in a fired case by hand to the neck/shoulder junction. And I can feel a slight lip with a pick, so that's leading me to believe it may have a donut?!? So maybe the grooves on the Barnes are "hanging up" and making the problem even worse?!?
