If they had light firing pin indentations the bolt wasn't fully in battery. The brass probably needed the shoulders bumped back a little, but you may want to load one then eject it to check for rifling marks on the bullet.
Any pressure signs on the fired brass?
The Grendel chamber has a compound throat (starts at one angle then has a different angle the rest of the way). This was done to work with a wide range of bullets. The .264 throat has one angle and some throats are .295 and others are .300.
The brass is identical for both but the LBC was designed for the Black Hills loads sold by Les Baer.
If you reload you won't have any trouble once you get everything set up.
You need to get an ammo gauge. Alexander Arms sells a nice one for $30. You can find it in their catalog under reloading accessories. If your sized brass or new rounds fit in it, it should chamber. If they fit in the gauge and won't chamber, you may have a chamber problem, but that would be unusual.
When you say the fired brass is longer, exactly what length is it? Longer than the Alexander Arms spec of 1.526? See: http://alexanderarms.com/images/pdfs/gre...oading.pdf
