Do you mean the rounds loaded with those bullets will not chamber in your rifle?  About the only reason I can think of for this offhand is not enough neck clearance.  Have you tried different brands of brass?

Cheers,

No reason that I can think of for why they wouldn't chamber.  Is the soft point being damaged when coming off the magazine, or as it is ramping into the chamber?  Just to satisfy my curiosity, it is a factory gun with the ramps extended into the receiver?  Best bet would be to get a return authorization from our sales dept (309-792-5780) to get the upper back to us so we can take a look.  Make sure to specify what it won't work with.  
Thanks.
