for some reason my bolt is failing to eject the case of factory and/or self loaded ammo... I took everything apart and cleaned it, inspected it all everything "seems fine" but the cases still either hit the side/wall of the action and fall out of the extractor or it just drops them... I'm pretty sure a new extractor spring would fix the problem but maybe it's the "ejector" it's hard to tell if the extractor simply isn't holding the spent case firm enough or the "ejector" spring is pushing too hard...

Don't know what you are shooting but if it is a center feed sometimes the ears on the magazine top are a bit too high and they knock the brass out before ejection. Another fix is to buy a larger diameter ball bearing that fits under the extractor. One of the members here sells them. The larger bearing is better whether it completely cures the problem or not. One other thing can be the extractor. Sometimes the case does not snap under the ledge on the front of the extractor but rides up on it.
