Eye,
Sounds like the ammunition.
Either both chambers are too small, or the ammunition is too big - More likely the ammunition. Whether the build is a thermal fit or not should have nothing to do with it. GO/NO Gauges will solve this dilemma instantly. If you don't have ready access to gauges then a factory round is a sort of gauge. At least factory ammunition should be less than SAAMI.
What ammunition are you using? If you are using handloaded ammo then it introduces a variable. Just because your reloads work in your gun does not mean they'll work in anyone elses. Apologies if you know this already.
With the BCG out, can you drop an unfired round into the clean chamber with the barrel pointing at the ground. Press it with your finger to mimic the bolt pushing it into battery. Then turn the barrel up pointing at the sky and see if it falls back out. Doing this with factory ammo should have the round fall back out with gravity, or at least not stick.
