Also I forgot to mention that it was impossible to pull the charging handle on the first two until we let the gun cool down a bit. On the last it was possible to pull it but difficult. then it was easy (assuming this is because we ripped started to damage the lip on the round).
I think the problem is that you simply have a very dirty chamber from the Wolf ammo.
As someone mentioned earlier, the Wolf steel casing is not as flexible as brass, and doesn't expand/seal as well when you fire it. You can get a lot of crap blowing into the chamber. Different guns behave differently when this happens--some are not affected and some don't work.
It also sounds like your extractor/extractor spring are fine. I 'm sure the extractor could use a good cleaning though.
