Not sure what the issue is but my rounds, even new rounds won't go into battery. I can run a sized case and it works fine, but with a bullet seated to the correct depth it won't. Even dropping one in the chamber it won't fall into battery. I believe it's a Ballistic barrel. This is on the AR15 platform.

6ARC not going into battery

What are your case length and diameter measurements and how do they compare to a chamber print?
Net, what are your seating depth measurements in relation to where it touches the lands?

So empty case fits but anything with a bullet doesn’t?? I’m going to state the obvious but have you checked to see if something is stuck in the barrel?? With the rifle with bolt open and a mag inserted with a round, depressing the bolt release the gun still won’t go into battery? Have you shot this rifle before?? Is it by chance a 22ARC barrel mislabeled as 6ARC?? I’m just giving suggestions.
Agree with stop and check throat/bore area for obstructions.
If you don't have the background and or a borescope, this is trivial for a local gunsmith and shouldn't cost much in their time.
Play it safe if you are not sure what you are doing, get a little help.

For sure the OP should look into what he has in the neck and chamber, but an AR15 in 6ARC should never be a "tight neck" ... but I would never say never... He really needs to trace this barrel back to origin to verify the intended specs and then inspect actuals to make sure something didn't fall through the cracks...
Here is the SAAMI spec in case it helps.
Bingo I believe. Doing the clunk test my rounds are dropping in and I'm pushing to boot, point the muzzle up and out she falls, pulled the bcg, stripped and cleaned all but the erector and much better, still a little sticky so I will clean again this time pull the ejector, a little lube and see what happens, bought the upper used off here and it was persnickety then, never thought to do a bcg cleaning, bad on me. Thanks all for your input, have been busy why I haven't
