So...

I have a Winchester 70 Heavy Varmint in .223. It will pull spent casings out of the chamber but will not fully extract them. I have to tilt the rifle to the right in order to completely remove the casing from the rifle. Do I need a new extractor, or is there another remedy? Thanks in advance for any advice.
