Dasher ejection issue

[dra1911]

I have a PT&G bolt with a standard Rem extractor and ejector. The brass seems to drag on the inside of the receiver just in front of the ejection port and slip off the extractor. Any advise welcomed.

Rem M700 short action. Would a M16 style extractor help?

I have a 6mmBR on a Stiller with a mini-M16 extractor. Extraction is flawless. I would imagine a Dasher would be similar

check out this video, the problem with short cases like the BR's is the location of the extractor, because the factory extractor is located at about 3:00 (rear view) it pulls the case mouth into the bolt lug raceway, the short BR case is at an accute angle which expends most of the ejectors spring force, by locating the extractor at about 1:30-2:00 like the Sako or M-16 conversion the case mouth is pulled upward and rides in the bolt body bore at less of an angle so the ejector spring remains more compressed and works much better.

I wish I had watched the video before I had my rifle built. I had my entire rifle salt bath nitrated by MMI True etc. Machining the fluted bolt and counter bore in the barrel for a M16 style extractor may be a challenge. The other recommendation was to modify the ejector so it would be flush with the front edge of the bolt. I'm tempted to order a new bolt with a M16 style extractor from PT&G and have a recoil lug ground to match the existing headspace. The receiver was reamed 0.705" and the bolt is 0.704", tends to bind if not cycled slowly. Could use suggestions on bolt O.D.
