I have a CA Classic in 338 Lapua. I had a similar issue to yours, although mine did not have any issues with factory ammo at all. I had issues with reloads using 1x fired brass. I would get stuck brass even though I was using loads that showed no other signs of pressure and they were way below book max. I had some similar marks on my brass, too. Found out it was a rough chamber that had a couple burs in it. My gunsmith polished them out and problem was solved. The rifle shoots sub moa all day long, so I cannot complain about that. My issue with CA was their customer service. They told me it would be a waste of my time to send the rifle in to them since it shot factory ammo without any issue and that's what they base their tests on.
