Is this common on plunger type ejectors? Should the ejector be polished to rectify the problem?

Here is a picture of the case head with a scratch caused by the ejector.

Any help appreciated.

Remove the plunger and clean out the brass shaving it probably has which keeps it from going in without mangling your brass. Common cause for getting the shaving in there is running it hot.
