I don't know how the Rossi ejector works, if it is a simple spring powered ejector with no primary extraction like the H&Rs used to be then you are seeing why H&R went to a mechanical extractor in their newer models. Perhaps some of the H&R modifications will work here, such as adding something behind the spring to put more pressure on the ejector. The .243 was the main problem child for H&R, I got the wife a new superlight in .243 and fortunately it has the extractor. I've converted my old H&Rs to extractor and never could understand why H&R didn't build them that way from the get-go, if I can do it with simple hand tools, it should be very much easier for the factory. My extractor modification will lift the case slightly higher than H&R's new extractor but then with mine the spring takes over once the extractor has broken the case loose and will toss the case on clear of the gun. I use a much lighter ejector spring than the original H&R since it has the primary extraction done and I don't need the ejector to fling the case thirty yards.

you might also check the guys and posts over at the H&R site, many and probably most there prefer the original ejectors over the newer extractors, but it's what they have now. Some there are trying to figure out how to convert the new extractors back to ejectors. From ejector to extractor was easy, not yet so from extractor to ejector but some good people there will be working on it....<><.... :)
