Default Ejector Woes

I replaced a broken ejector about a year ago with an aftermarket ejector from Tom Heller. On my last trip to the range, after perhaps 300 rounds, it failed (bent and cracked - see photo). It appears to be a casting. I use the mildest loads that will cycle the action with 115 grain bullets, so I don't think that I overstressed the ejector with a hot load, and I attribute the failure to the inferior quality of the aftermarket product. Given the scarcity of original ejectors, I would prefer to install another aftermarket ejector. In addition to Tom, sources that I am familiar with include Numrich Gun Parts and Jack First Gun Parts. I would be interested to know about experiences that others have had with aftermarket ejectors. Any recommendations?
