Agree ... still a mystery...but ...bolt disassembled, cleaned. Go gauge would close on one layer of green tape but not on two so guesstimate of headspace is in the .003 - .006 range which is generous but still likely within parameters. Got new primers to try.
Andrew, temp would not have been a factor.
