I always had that problem shooting Wolf steel cased .223 ammo in my S&W AR. It got better over time as the barrel broke in, but if I came home and didn't clean the barrel and chamber after a shooting session, the next time at the range, both steel & brass-cased ammo would stick and many would have the rim ripped off. To solve that, I would take a chamber brush and Hoppes and spin the brush in the chamber for 2-3 seconds at low speed using a cordless drill. Never had another issue after that.
