When you say 'live round', do you mean one that has been chambered but not fired?
Can you post a picture of a fired case?

Is there a pitted or crud filled chamber? Could just be an accumulation of dried grease and maybe surface rust...

As Jim said, cosmoline
goes granite hard, you may have a few old deposits in the chamber.
Give it a 'really' good clean and try chambering a drill round or spent case to see if there are any consistent marks on the case.

The FIRST question is this. How hard is it to lift the bolt. If it is hard then that is primary extraction and is so, it is without doubt a chamber problem.

Im sorry i cant post a picture of a fired case but in comparison to an unprimed brass case it looks normal there are no major scratches or bulges that are abnormal.Yes when i refer to a "live round" I do mean one that has been chambered but not fired.

Factory Ammo or reloads?
Reloads - Neck sized or F/L sized?

I think you guys might be right.After clambering a dummy i noticed there were scratches on the bullet and the case.Also the problem only occurs when there is a cartridge so that would make sense. Originaly thought the extractor became "sharp" and it was pushing the cartridge on the other side of the chamber. Thank you

"The reloads are good"
Does that mean you don't have the problem with them ?
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

Yes, I don't have a problem and they function the same as normal factory loads or surplus.I don't plan to shoot many hand loads through my Enfield. I like to handload for my Ross MkIII.
