Home Forums Reloading Shotshells MEC 600jr Deprime question

Hi All - longtime lurker here. First ever real post!

On my pre 82’ MEC 600jr Reloader, the deprime assembly bolt (part #72) hits the press arm during the upstroke (when depriming and resizing a shotshell). Is this part of the design? If not, does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct the issue? On some shells where the brass is more stretched than others, the pressure needed to eject them during the upstroke has caused the bolt to bend. Link to the schematic is below.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Eject Cam, part 73, on the arm hits die part 72 on the upstroke to dislodge case from sizing die. That part can be adjusted.
