Again I didn’t apply downward force. Just turned it in it’s place. Any thoughts ?

You need to apply some light pressure do get it to cut, using cutting oil. Don't back the reamer out in the opposite direction of the cutting flutes.

The chamber needs to be polished after you finish-ream it. Use one of the 6.5 Grendel chamber brushes with patches and bore paste.
