Ejecting issues

So I bought my C93 a couple weeks ago and I shot all kinds of ammo through it. Winchester 5.56 55gn, Tula 55gn, American Eagle 55gn, Wolf (black box) 55gn, Wolf (That WPA stuff) 55gn, and it cycled all that fine and ejected without issue. Then I moved onto the M885 Lake City 62gn and I have ejecting issues. I checked headspace and it hasn't moved off spec so the bolt head shouldn't be slamming into the carrier or be too far off it when it rides over the ejector.

It grabs the rim without issue but when it goes to eject it stovepipes. Except instead of doing it on the primer end of the casing, it does it on the bullet neck? Any ideas? As of now I'm just staying away from it. But being roller locked and recoil operated I thought it would like the 62gn rounds better... Maybe my thought process is off.
 
I guess your easiest solution is to not shoot the Lake City ammo, and stick with the fodder that runs. Kinda nice that the cheap stuff works.:cool:

As I understand it, in a delayed blowback system, the extractor is used only to support and stabilize the casing, not to actually pull it from the chamber.
It is possible that, for whatever reason, you extractor is not getting a good purchase on the LC brass. The case is still extracted, but then yaws a bit and is not hitting the ejector properly to eject the casing.

I don't have much experience with delayed roller systems( I prefer something with a piston:p) But the extractor could be a good place to start
