The bolt face was trued on barrel number 2. This is barrel number 5 so I would think he would check the bolt face each time. His barrels always shoot .1 or less. He rebarreled my .243 and 7 mag and both would shoot .03 @ 100 yds.

It's just a simple wildcat round. Take a 300 win mag and neck it down to a 7 mm. Thus the 7x300 win mag. About 30 fps slower than a 28 Nosler but you get twice the barrel life. A very accurate round for long-range hunting.

I doubt it. He's been building competition f class riffles for a long time and shot for the team Canada f class team at the worlds.
I got it from Midway USA, but it's now discontinued. This supplier has them:

ha ha - I keep a dime and a quarter on my bench for this.
The dime is for locking the striker back, the quarter I put in my vise, with just a bit sticking out, and use that to pull the cocking piece back, instead of gouging up the edge of my bench.
Yeah, makes a lot of "cents" but I had dimes flying all around, heck they almost made change from bouncing across bench....ha ha - I keep a dime and a quarter on my bench for this.

Can't quite tell if the action is open or closed. I tend toward it's closed. Not sure if it's pump or auto. I feel it's a pump. That doesn't matter much. Never look down a barrel with the action closed to start with
.
I've had magazine springs go bad by leaving round in the mag. I don't do that any longer. I may only put in a few rounds in instead of a full mag. Remember the count too.

If you have access to another.308, I would take the rounds that failed to fire, and try them in another rifle. If they fire, you have a bolt spring problem. If they again fail to fire, the problem is with the loads.
I never saw where you answered the question of whether the loads were factory or hand loads. Factory, I would change brands of ammunition, if possible. Handloads? I could write a whole page on what could go wrong!

The ones that failed to fire I ejected them. Waited 30secs or so then loaded them back into the chamber and they fired.I'm leaning towards the primer slid forward on the first strike then fired because the primer was seated properly

Weak spring not only contributes to misfire, but will also contribute to inconsistent ignition. The latter is detrimental to precision.
