Need case ejection help

[noone]

I had problems with ejection of fired cases, and traced it back to an over powerful extractor spring. The extractor would push the case onto the opposite side of the bolt with such force that the ejector spring couldn't push it out of the recess in the bolt fast enough. I got funny ejection, stovepipes, and all sorts of odd things happening. As soon as I put in a weaker extractor spring, everything started working just like normal... Fired cases started dropping at the 4-5 o'clock position, about 6 feet from the ejection port after I put in a weaker extractor spring.
