While playing around trying to get better ejection with shorter cases i discovered the farther the ejector protrudes the better the cases ejected. Drawback was if the ejector was too long then it would catch on the case when feeding before entering the chamber. As a remedy i cut a ramp like Savage did on the side of the ejector plunger. After fabricating and heat treating a few different styles of plunger i gave up because i ended up pretty much where Savage was.
I did notice however that some of the factory Savage plungers have the notch for the retaining pin cut too wide and the plunger notch will catch on the bolt head during compression. This will screw up feeding also.
Hope you get it figured out.
