If it doesn't fit stop. Forcing something never makes it better and often a whole lot worse.Call Bergara Monday. Whatever you do I would not fire it again before talking to them.

If Google translated this correctly then no the room was not cleaned...I was shooting outside dirt and leaves and bugs and mold everywhere.La chambre a été bien nettoyée ?
This is actually very likely. Since 2 different hornady rounds chambered fine. I am leaning towards thinking the Nosler was just max tolerance in a minimum tolerance chamber, and the bearing surface on the Nosler is much longer than the that of the hornady bullets were.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.
Definitely agree, that's why I chose not to fire, or to force it multiple times. Without knowing the cause of the issue it would have been foolish to keep messing with those particular rounds. I was grateful that I had different factory ammo show up that I was able to test fit in the chamber and pleased that it cycled flawlessly.FIND THE PROBLEM! Before it finds you!!! Forcing the bolt is NEVER a good thing, just my 2cents
I have a new Bergara. Did your new Nosler round fit the DBM. If not then I can see why you were jammed. I currently am loading the Nosler 142gr ABLR and there is .073" difference between just touching the lands and fitting the DBM.I'm out shooting right now, and the bolt wont close. Brand new bergara b-14 6.5 creedmoor, never fired. Trying factory Nosler 120 gr ballistic tips. Tried to chamber one, bolt wont close, tried another and another. Very tight. Forced it on one and drag marks on bullet. Not firing it because from what I'm seeing it looks to be jammed .250" When I get home I'll start taking measurements to see what's going on, but just from my description and the picture below what say you?

I recently had a similar problem with Nosler brass and discovered an inconsistent rim thickness causing tight chambering.I had either a bergara or tikka. I misremember which that had the same problem. I finally figured out I had the wrong screw in the rail. There were two lengths and the short one went up front or the bolt wouldn't close.
