Is there a certain cast member he reminded you of?
Things always get interesting in a "solve my problem" thread though.
Sometimes it's like a tv drama maybe we could call it as the bolt turns. I just kidding I try to be nice even if I disagree with people in public

I thank you all for your intelligent and thoughtful comments, even if there are differences of opinion and experiences. I am learning a tremendous amount just by reading these forums.
And my philosophy is to block anyone who uses "OMG"......enough said.
I now fully understand and appreciate
the popcorn meme.

Now the only question is, what will be the new name of the resurected Phoenix??? Ha ha. Just look for a new member starting drama.
And to YZ, you likely have all the info you need, but I'll add. I recently had my rem 700 sent to LRI to fix primary extraction, it was almost non existent in my RR prefix trued 700. On the 4th firing of peterson brass, same thing. Would have to tap the bolt handle to extract the round from the chamber. However, the primary extraction had so little rearward movement it was hardly noticeable on bolt lift. Now, there is a huge amount of rearward movement with bolt lift, and the problem is fixed.

What action is your Delta 5 built on? If it's a 700 I would definitely look at the primary extraction especially if it's a RR series.
There should be .005-.010 between the bridge and bolt handle, my RR that my 30-28 was built on had .056 virtually zero primary extraction.

Neck turning striations have nothing to do with the throat. You can smooth the turned neck out with steel wool if you think it would help.

Yes I agree.
I myself use the Redding Competition Shell Holder Set in conjunction with the Redding Body Die ( both must be caliber specific )
In this manner you can kill two birds with one stone.
1) Bump your brass shell case to a minus .002" dimension.
2) Actually full length your case along almost its entire length ( actually right on the case head itself incrementally in .002" steps )
Number 2 is important in your case as in the Lee Factory Crimp Die which may help you out , the Redding setup will allow your cases to actually fit your chamber and bump your shoulder.
The Lee Factory crimp die will size your case only to your shell holder , while the Redding will allow you to size your case hulls deeper in. 002[' increments until your brass Cases will chamber smoothly. ( it comes with 5 numbered inserts ).
If you combine the correct shell holder with the body die you should never again experience this problem,
I must admit that perhaps I would purchase the Lee Factory Crimp die and try it first as this will be your cheapest option !
Without going into a long dissertation you can find all you need to know by consulting the Redding Reloading Catalog /Web site
Best Of luck
