I'm thinking you're right. It's not going into battery. The unfired round just falls out of the chamber.
The extractor never picks up the rim of the case.
No rounds fired had any pressure signs.
Here are some measurements from the shoulders with a comparator gauge
Hornady New 1.189, Fired 1.208
Wolf New 1.181(will not fire), Fired rounds 1.207
AA (Lapua) Brass 1.181 (will not fire)
OAL of brass Hornady range 1.515 to 1.520
AA (Lapua) 1.514 to 1.517
I also measured the base of the case right above the rim and the rim
Hornady Above .437, Rim .052
AA (lapua) .439, Rim .058
The rifle is supposed to have a 264 LBC Chamber but bolt is marked AA. I don't know if it makes a difference using an Alexander Arms bolt with a LBC chambered barrel?
