Remington may not give you satisfaction because of the "unauthorized" modifications you have made to the rifle,,,,, like a the muzzle brake and bedding,,,, especially the muzzle brake!

Back to original photo, the "cuts" visually look like different heights from case head. Could they be from a sharp edge/corner in the magazine? If the magazine had been used.
Second the far left case and one of the others show longitudal "double" scratches. These may have come from rough chamber and could have caused difficult extraction especially if the PE was not up to snuff.
Lastly, make sure the PE is working & timed properly.

Were those scratches on your brass before the brake was installed?

Remington is not the same old Remington. I am with the others here telling you to send it back. Remington had my son send his to a gunsmith twice. The smith told him Remington had a problem with chamber issues now. Remington finally had the smith send it back for him and he got a new rifle that worked. Shows they can make one if they want to put the effort into making one right!
I shot with a friend who carried a ramrod with him at the range so he could get the brass out, his friend did the same. He said had he known he was buying a single shot he would have skipped buying it. Both had to send them back to Remington for replacement.
I hope they do not give you a hard time after the work you have had done, I wish you the best of luck.

My first question as to the mark on the cases. With the marks on the cases not in the exact same place, It could be more than one problem to deal with.
Are You Running The Cases Through The Magazine When Shooting Them?
Just a thought since the scratches are in different locations on the case. There be a bad burr on the magazine lip causing the scratch or dent on the case.
Have you reached into the ejection port and put your finger on the case, Then carefully opening the action, Till the case clears the chamber and then carefully remove it. I have seen firearms with burrs in the ejection ports and magazines that made scratches and dents that was not caused by the chamber.
As a Police Armor I had to a lot of work on new issues of service pistols to get them to function properly. My feeling was, If I would not feel secure taking the gun and going to the field and carry it, I did not want it to leave the range. I had one new pistol I had to smooth the magazine lips to get the to load properly. Looked like the lips on the magazine had been cut with a dull axe. Like 21 pistols with 3 mags. each was quite a job to cure.
As for the shells not wanting to release and come out of the chamber. I have read where the chamber of a hammer forged barrel has the Chamber Hammer Forged as the barrel is rifled, By moving the mandrel back during the process. I guess when they install it on the action, Check it with gauges and the headspace is within specs. They may never run a finish reamer in to set final headspace.
Retuning the Rifle to Remington is what I would suggest. If you put an new TRIGGER in the rifle I would put the original back in if you return it. I have heard of JEWEL triggers not making it back on the return job.
GOOD LUCK ON FINDING THE CAUSE AND A SAFE DEPENDABLE CURE FOR THE PROBLEM.

Sending the rifle back to Remington still sounds like a good idea. The company sent me a shipping ticket for the last rifle needing repairs. Sending the rifle to Remington would allow you to cut to the chase. No more guessing. Based on my experience with chip problems the case is scored all the way around. I'd also recheck data used to reload those rounds. You always have the option to continuing to use the rifle with the scratch.
Was your barrel threaded for the brake at the factory?
