The comments below the video confirm this is a regular issue with the Ruger American and likely caused by the bolt design and QA thereof.

Back to the importer I guess. If they won't come to the party the next step which seems to be favored by some is to polish the crap out of the bolt mechanism and grease lube it. I.e address the poor factory quality control re parts finishing.

Anyway.

IMO.

Back to the importer.

Or

Drop powder further 0.2gr and polished chamber.. But I have a feeling there is more to it.
