Talking do you have a firing pin strike on the primer?

I disassembled and reassembled the rifle several times but had the same result each time. The round chambered correctly but I couldn't eject the round without mortaring it.



Have I assembled the rifle incorrectly or is this a manufacturing issue? I'm using Federal Premium 168 grain 308 win ammo.
If you can pull the trigger and hear the hammer strike the firing pin? it has to be in battery, with the bolt fully engaging the barrel extension.

If that is indeed the case? check the primer for hammer strike and post a picture.
