Round not consistently extracting

Looking at the shells you can see some obvious marks on the side. Looking at the top view picture you can see there is an indent on one of the sides. Could this be a head space issue? How do I check head space?

That indent has nothing to do with headspace, it's common in about 5 percent of the brass fired from a Luger. And I'm talking a Luger with no malfuntions.

You seem to have changed too many things at the same time. When the ejector is about to break you start having extracting an ejecting problems. Now that you have replaced the ejector that has in fact broken. I would try putting back the original springs and see what happens.

By the way, all Lugers I know have no problem using WWB, unless they changed their receipe for worse again. What I meann is 10 years ago I bought some WWB (a large amount of them) that last me until some 3 years ago that had outstanding accuracy. I bought some more of a newer batch, and even if they still worked flawlessly, accuracy wasn't there anymore.
