+1 for the mortaring technique. You will damage the charge handle that way. When we see the same problem on AK's, there is the kick-start technique, or take the AK charge handle and aggressively shove the gun down with the charge handle on a tailgate.
Muzzle awareness is most important when doing this. With the AR, use the forward assist to make sure you have the extractor purchased to the case rim, collapse the stock if you have a telescoping stock, and mortar the AR with the heel of the butt, not the toe while pulling on the charge handle.
