I own a 2004 Winchester model 70 SuperShadow in 300wsm only have about 350 rounds cycled through so far and started not grasping the shell on extraction and not ejecting out of the gun ive cleaned lubed inspected and cant find anything physically wrong with it any suggestions?
 
Re: Ejection problem on Winchester Model 70

I have a wssm action which uses the same extractor. Mine had the same problem. Its the extractor they are brittle and crack verry easey. It cracks along the bottom allowing it to set at an angle not holding the case tight enough to eject. Unless you pull extractor you cant tell its bad. Mine is a 243 wssm / 358 wssm swich barrel with about 1200 rounds through it and Im on my 3rd extractor.
