Bergara bolt wont eject case

[Morrey]

Greetings. I have a brand new Bergara HMR Premier Pro in .308. I cleaned the bore and wiped down the bolt with light gun oil to remove all mfg oils. Cleaned off oil carefully and slid bolt back in place.

I made a dozen test shots with some Winchester factory rounds to get me on paper and some hand loads to test a typical load I make for .308's. Both types of ammo cycled properly with no issues.

After 15-18 shots, spent cases pulled out of the chamber properly, but quit ejecting off the bolt face. The spent cases stayed on the bolt face, but I could gently pull the round off the face. Of course this wont do in the hunting field so I need to see what is suggested for a fix?

I can involve Begara, but hunting season is just starting and I need to get this gun into the field. Is there any quick tip to see what is going on?

Plunger ejector stuck by contaminants such as dirt, grease/oil, shipping lube?

Might have to take the bolt apart to clean it.

Very likely since this is a brand new gun that there may be a bit of mgf debris hanging up the ejector. I'll give that a whirl and see if that helps.
