You got lots of advise here, most of it bad.
This seems to be a match rifle, it should chamber any match ammo, specifically Lapua or ELEY.
Before you screw with this gun, a few thoughts.
I would guess, the camber is fouled badly, maybe some corrosion.
First, clean the barrel with a good RF solvent and a bronze brush. When done get some C4 carbon cutter…often there is hard carbon/lead in the throat. Follow directions….only for throat.
That may very well do it but as stated,check the radius of the chamber for a burr.

P.S. Lapua & Eley do not make custom for anybody, including olympic teams.
You might buy most of a given lot….but it is a production lot made to THEIR specs.
I know a lot about these guns, have been shooting IR50/50 since 1980’s and sit way up in the gold HOF , winning state, regional, national champs.
There’s lots of ways to screw up these guns.
