In fact, the only issue I've ever had was with some really weak Centurion .223 ammo which short stroked regularly. It runs like a top on full auto with 5.56 ammo. Very controllable and slower cyclic rate than a Bushmaster M16 upper.
If it's consistently ejecting that far forward under "healthy" conditions, then i'd say that yes, the dual extractor spring setup is a major part of that.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried running the gun with a standard DI bolt in it just to see how it behaves?
