It appears you have both a out of spec bolt and short throat.
An earlier email with a Steve Satern attributed quote indicated S. Satern didn't believe the SAAMI spec included throat dimensions...I wonder if Satern or PTG believe they could shorten the throat and still call it SAAMI Grendel?...

Allowing non-standard chambers marked "6.5 Grendel" to go to customers has caused a lot of confusion. Continuing to claim that it is perfectly OK to ignore (or tweak) the specification is a bad thing for all concerned.
Send the evidence to where you got the kit. They need to correct it -- standard factory ammo must fit a standard chamber. Err on the cautious side, however, and follow LRRPF52's advice to record the lot number of the ammunition. The locked thread discussion includes the possibility that something slipped through QC on that side, so one needs to do due dilligence.
