Is this the same rifle you bought from Wareagle?

Maybe exchange a couple PM's w/him and see what load worked for him and start there.

Have you made ANY modifications to this rifle?

Maybe premature, but don't be afraid to remove the pressure point. After loading and shooting at least 6 bee U/L's I'll say I disagree with your logic.

Do you have your "forward" bag close to the bottom metal? or out really far? If it's too far out (close to stud) you might be placing torque on the tube.

Might also be as simple as your load combo. Do you have any 140's hanging around along with some IMR4350? if so, toss in 46 grains with 140 Nos and give it a whirl...

I'd also start my loads closer and seat deeper as/if I feel i needed to.
