Thank you Kurusu... I'm not sure what would indicate an "about-to-break-ejector" , but I will have a look. Perhaps also a dull extractor tip which actually catches the rim of the spent case when ejecting? or a spent case itself whose rim is a fraction of a mm too narrow? Doesn't take much.... Your opinion?
The ejector is basically a spring with inwards tension. Make sure, when you open the action, that the ejector seats fully into the bolt slot and inwards of the barrel extension (receiver). If it doesn't. Consider a new ejector.

Images of closed bolt, the bolt pushes the forward tip of the ejector flush with the barrel extension.

Images with open action, the slot cut in the right bolt face, allows the forward tip of the ejector to bend inwards.

What breaks in the ejector is the foward tip when the "springness" is lost. The tell tale sign, besides starting to fail to eject, is the forward tip not bending inwards when the action is open.

I hope I my explanation is clear.

If it left the empty cartridge in the chamber, then that is failure to extract, not eject. Your ejector is probably OK. The extractor should be examined, with its spring.

I agree 100%. Take a good look at the extractor "claws" and be sure that they both are there(they are prone to break off). Also the extractor spring may well be "done", so to speak.
