I had the same problem with one of my target rifles, took the bolt apart completely, and cleaned thoroughly.
Put it back together again and used the misfired ammo in it- BANG!
Some of the primers had deep dents on them, but the firing pin was hitting them too slowly.
had the same issue with a '996 Mauser years ago, as well.
