If the bolt moves back 1-inch and then stops, the steel case ammo isn't what's binding it up because the .223 Remington case walls are tapered. One of the staked screws may have worked loose in the bolt carrier, but I really dunno. Have you tried slamming the rifle on the buttstock while pulling back hard on the charging handle?

Slam it on the ground butt first. Use to do it in the Army and it worked every time.
