I know this may seem like a dumb question but did you thoroughly clean the chamber and bore before trying a round?
And clean and lube the bolt and bcg...
Did you drop a round down into the chamber (no bcg present), and then turn the barrel up to see if it drops out freely?
That round looks pretty beat up and you've not even started...
wow. Maybe some other guys w/ more experience in these will chime in. I haven't seen one that bad.
Pulling that hard sounds like it may be jamming into the lands but haven't known faxon to have that issue.
Edit: do you mean ejector or the extractor? Sometimes the extractor has rough spots right at the points and they can grab the rim/ hang on to the rim too much. Careful smoothing/filing to smooth them down will help that.
