I have an alexander arms 50 beowulf that I built onto  a spikes lower with the PSA  LPK and it is fantastic however, I am having a problem with the 400 grain FP Hawk ammo.  First, the bolt wouldnt close on the second round, so I modified the mags but that didnt fix it.  Even when cycling by hand the bolt would sometimes stop with about an inch left before full close.  So I tried some different ammo, some 300 grain Gold Dots, poof not a single problem.  So, I removed the lead filler off the rounds and they still wont work.  They do drop fully into the chamber tho.   Also, they would sometimes stick during ejection.  So, I ordered a 308 buffer spring.  It picks the rounds out of the mag every time but every once in a while the FP's wont eject.    Ive tried two different boxes of the FP Hawks and have the same issue with all.    Also, is there a potential problem using the 308 buffer spring??
