I too have had trouble with ejection of 6mm BR and 6mm Dasher brass. With a simple little modification, it now ejects just the way I want it.
Nothing wrong with the extractor, be it Sako, Remington, or Sliding plate. It is not enough forward push on the ejector button, for these short cases. Once the case moves out of the chamber, the neck rides in the lugway and that is about all the ejector button has as far as push, when it comes to the ejection port, the extractor just lets go and drops the case where it is.
Fix: The ejector needs more movement, remove ejector button from bolt, use a Dremel tool with either a cut off wheel or grind stone and remove a small portion of the retaining pin groove on the rear portion of existing slot, you now have the ejector extending out further, aiding ejection. Unless something else is actual wrong, this should do
