Looks more like a 5.56 extractor to me, not a 6.5 Grendel extractor. Could just be the photo, but the radius of the extractor groove and lip edge are looking a bit excessive to me.

I just compared with several Grendel bolts of mine, and I think your extractor lip corners are biting into the case rim excessively, causing binding as it tries to go into battery.

Are there wear marks on the outside of your extractor by any chance?

There are a lot of brass shavings all over your bolt as well.

Where did you get the bolt from?
