headspace is likely the issue. Do you have pics of the fired brass, unfired brass, bolt face?

PSA is questionable on quality. Call their customer service and request them to make it right.

Since .223 is cycling fine, would I be OK just shooting that from now on and disregarding 5.56?

No I do not.

So what is the course of action. Buy a headspace gauge (not sure what size?) and see if it fits my barrel? If it doesnt, then that means it was below what factory tolerance should have been? Need a new barrel?
