I just paid $180 for a case of 200 rounds horandy black 123gr ammo.
Seems like the barrel is the cheap part. If they don't replace it, I would just get a new one knowing your saving money on ammo you don't need to shoot trying to make it accurate enough to keep.
But like others have said, I have had the same issue with a great barrel manufacturer, we used a hand reamer to open up the chamber a tad and it started shooting great.
It doesn't sound like the end of the world, just adding a different spin on it. Once you factor your time, gas and ammo, the $160 barrel/upper seems like the low hanging fruit.
