I couldn't tell you unless I had a FB and 223 side by side. Definitely not a 308 or magnum.
I cant be sure but I dont think the 223 is either you have the pic of
I prefer the mini M16 extractor over the Sako
I do too
I'm not say the dia thing isn't true but Its the first time I've heard that. The fireball case is nothing more than a shortened 223 case.

I've never messed with one in either caliber before, but by the picture the ejector appears to be at the same location. Why not buy a new ejector pin and turn the first 1/16" to the smaller diameter?
I'm sure there's something simple to fix it.

I had a 300 whisper built off a 700 years ago had absolutely no extraction problems functioned just like the 223 did. David
The ejector has nothing to do with the difference between the standard 223 or FB bolt its the location of the extractor.
Its the timing between the 2, the 223 lets go of the FB case before the plunger ejects the case so it just wants to drop.

So you put a sako in. then your issue is it tosses the case up at your scope where it will likely fall back into the feed. Seems that the issue is more of the length of time the case is being held before ejection in the OP. I'm not saying there isn't a problem with some rifles and I'm not saying theres only one way to fix it. But there have been plenty of them sold that don't have that problem and use the same parts. Somethings wonky with their setups that can be corrected. Just my opinion though.
Plenty of 300BO 700s and Model 7s. Doesn't seem to be an issue that was big enough to call for a recall

I see Wolfe sells extra power ejector springs. Not sure this would help. But it is something cheap to try. And as the post stated
"He can extend the protrusion of the ejector by about 1/16" to make it hold on to the case longer.
Just need to remove a little metal from the notch in the ejector plunger so it will stick out further before it rests on the roll pin which retains it into the bolt."
If it were me I would also buy a extractor while you're on there. Just to have further on down the road if not needed now.
