Ok thanks for the info and input. Things are much better this morning. I guess I should of known better but my results were based on my rifles ejecting snap caps. This morning I headed outside with live rounds and some empty brass. The results were far better. The loaded rounds ejected cleanly over the side with no issues but more importantly the empty brass ejected strongly a good 8"-10" clear. My bad. I should of know the snap caps are not a good test for ejecting. The change in detent ball did greatly improve my results after all!!!!
