My BHW 22" barrel (RLGS) had a bit of debris in the gas port, which caused a similar issue. The load then and now is a 123 Amax over 28.0 grains of 8208 XBR. I successfully cleared it with the smooth end of a drill bit. A couple of swipes with a bronze brush ensured I had no burr or debris in the barrel.
It sounds like you've aligned your GB and Gas Port, but be aware the BHW barrels need that ~0.025" gap between block and shoulder, unless your GB is manufactured to butt up to the shoulder.
Lastly, mine runs quite well with both a standard carbine length spring and buffer, and standard rifle length spring and buffer. No over/under weight buffers were needed. I did, however, install a BTE adjustable gas block to tame the case mouth denting I was getting, once I had it cycling. It now delivers brass into neat little piles ~8 feet out, at 4 o'clock.
Nice looking rifle, btw.
