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 maid 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.
My take on this is that perhaps it was already screwed up. If the OP is clueless, I would hope that he has enough sense to ultimately get the rifle examined by someone who does know and can recognize a problem before doing anything with it himself.
