Premature ejection...CF2 in 222

[Hitzy]

So I have a very nice BSA CF2 in 222, it extracts the case, but leaves it in the action. It's a long action, short case, ejection is strong as the mouths are dented, but it's done by the time the bolt is retracted and just flops into the action. It's been to the local plumber, he was going to weld a bead on the bolt face and machine it (near the ejector) to try and keep the case in the bolt face a little longer thinking that might fix it. I gave the go ahead and he had second thoughts, and figures it may not work.
So I'm back to square 1. Any ideas? Is there a balance with the ejector and extractor springs that might be out that is causing this? Both are pretty stiff springs, clean, no binding.

Make the ejection weaker, it does not need to dent case mouths... and then work the bolt a bit faster...

You sound like my wife. Just had to do that, LOL.

Weak ejection seems to be a common issue with the cf2 according to many forum boards that I have perused through . My 6.5 swede too has the empty case plop just outside the action although the ejector spring is pretty robust .

Out of the 3 I have, only the 30/06 had weak ejection... cut a small drill bit shank off just under size of the hole, about 3mm long and installed it under the spring for more compression, solved that issue.
