IMO there shouldn't be a break in period on an AR10. Clean & lube the BCG. Make certain there's a bit of oil on the firing pin, and that the firing pin goes all the way forward. Meaning that it can really dent a case. It's possible that there's some gunk that doesn't allow the firing pin to move all the way forward. You can check & clean the chamber, although I wouldn't bet that's the root cause.
I've heard people state that some military primers are really hard, which can lead to light strikes. I don't know if that applies to the ammo you used.
I know nothing of BRO triggers. I have a Wilson Combat single stage in mine -- it is outstanding.
Thanks.... I checked to make sure it projected out of the front of the bolt face, and it does. I did remove the pin to clean & lube. It seems to move freely. I don't believe the ammo uses military primers.

The legs should be on top, not on the bottom.
Subjectively it doesn’t appear that the hammer spring lacks strength.
