I loaded up an 123 amax dummy round to 2.250and it has zero resistance entering or leaving the battery, the 123 lapua and 120 smk both have a very slight resistance opening the bolt but no markings on the bullet
So assumably the barrels from brownells are not affected in the same way as the midway and liberty barrels but I would still recommend doing a little scrubbing with a bronze brush in case there is a little bur or something in the throat
The first round I chambered was a loaded 120 smk and it stuck to the point of using the under side of the bench hit the charging handle and after a little scrub and slick up its gravy so I think I had a bur others may not be so lucky but it is certainly worth beating up a 1.99 270 bronze brush to see it it helps followed by brake cleaner, rinsing in hot water and the blowing dry with compressed air and running a patch down the bore
