Sound like you need to figure out if it's the ammo or a short chamber. Hornady makes a good chamber measuring gage.

you have to buy the .264 insert separately.
I'm not real surprised at the stuck cartridge, it seems there's some variation in chamber throats. I've measured the Nosler 120 BT in both an AA 16" and a Saturn/Liberty 18" barrels. There was .015 difference measured at the ogive. With the 18" barrel I'm reloading the 120 BT COL at 2.220 that's .015 off the lands. I measured AAs 120 BT factory ammo and it's COL was 2.240, didn't have any problems with it but it was into the lands by .005. Hopefully going forward this problem will disappear with the Grendel's SAAMI approval and barrel makers will have a very specific throat dimension.
Please post your solution, we are all learning from others experiences, good luck.
