I bought a box of 165 grain partitions for my Sendero .300 RUM and when trying to chamber a round, the bolt is extremely difficult/tight to close. HSM ammo feeds just fine. Any ideas what could be going on?

My 1917 enfield is that was as are other actions that are based on the Mauser control feed (mod 70 etc)

These are factory loads. And i appreciate the feedback. I may get the chamber polished and see if I can find somebody to handload some rounds for me. And as far as accuracy goes, the HSM rounds actually shot a little better than the partitions did just from the little I've shot the partitions. I just wanted to make sure they were safe to shoot since I hadn't experienced an issue like that before.
