ALL factory ammo? Or just the brand you have now? Try another manufacturer and see if the issue persists.. Then you'll at least have gotten rid of one variable..

I had that happen on a M7 FWT in .260 Rem.. Close inspection of the ammo showed slightly crushed shoulders - from a brand new box of Rem ammo.. Called 'em up, they wanted it back, and then sent me a new box.. Problem solved..
