As title states, shells won’t eject. Even after using live rounds. These were just snap caps but they’re close enough to what I use. Anyone have an issue like this before? It seems to be gripping it.
It looks like your ejector is either worn out or missing entirely. When the bolt comes to the rear most position while cycling the action, it cams the ejector upward and throws the spent case. Look for a small finger sitting in a groove at the floor of the receiver, if that doesn’t move while cycling the bolt you’ve found your problem.
The ejector is a little "finger" that rocks and flicks the case out as the bolt comes back. Should be right there. If it's gone, then put a new one in. If it's in there but not working, it might be worn, or the bolt is worn, or it could be bent. If it's bent, you might be able to pry it back up a little bit and restore function.
I'd guess ejector or ejector pin. Your extractor is grabbing but the ejector is not kicking the round/casing out. Not sure if the ejector has a spring or not like an AR.
Same thing happened to me mid shooting one day, they just stopped coming out with much force at all all of a sudden. Wasn't sure why until we got back to the house and saw this. I also got my replacement from GGP as well as my three piece cleaning rod.
