I didn't think the charging handle would affect ejection, but it's a valid point not to change it.
I didn't do anything to bend the ejector. I used a brass brush and patches on an Otis pull cord not something like a bore snake. I do really like your straw idea though and will be borrowing it for the future cleanings.
It seems CCI ammo is very popular so I should try that.
I load my magazines using the same method that you do and ensure they are staggered. Good point. I did not know this at first. I only saw it after doing research after the issues during my first shooting session.

I tweaked the ejector on my 15-22 slightly, and installed the Volquartsen extractor - now my rifle literally rockets the casings out of it. I had some that shot out 20' while shooting a steel challenge stage.
After I made those mods, I've had zero issues with stovepipes - regardless of what ammo I've fed it.
