Sounds like an extractor issue on the rifle. A piece of brass that has not been sized obviously will be bigger as it has expanded  from being fired. A piece that has been full lengthsized should extract easily because it is not snug in the chamber. That's if your full length sizing as opposed to neck sizing.  I had issues with an old 721 that would not extract full length sized brass or factory new brass because the Remington extractor was worn. I had to replace the bolt body on the old 721rifle with a 700 bolt body because they don't make 721 extractors anymore. I could extract old Lake City military cases with the old extractor because the rim on the lake City  surplus brass was a couple thousandths thicker than factory Remington brass. And the worn extractor would get a good enough hook on the rim to pull it out of the chamber. New or full length brass would not be extract. Fired brass would extract.  If your rifle will not extract full length sized brass the issue is probably in the rifle! You could try screwing your sizer die in further till the ram and linkage cams over to squeeze the brass down a bit more. RCBS dies recommend This for FL sizing. Some other brands recommend not doing this with their dies as it could damage the die. You said your rifle was having issues with ejecting?ejecting is the rifle throwing the case out of the action when the bolt moves back. Extracting is the bolt holding the case by the rim and pulling it out of the chamber. I assume you were talking about extracting issues. Sorry I got so windy... lol
