Bellcrank not smooth

On my 45acp setup, on the downward stroke, the lock-link on the bellcrank hits the side of the powder charging bar frame. Please see this video http://youtu.be/aOhbQn7tRrw

On my 9mm setup, the bellcrank operates rather smoothly.

What adjustments am I missing in the 45acp setup?

On the 9mm setup, the blue wingnut at the bottom of the return rod is actually too tight. The lock link is supposed to catch the corner of the powder measure briefly. This physically blocks retraction of the powder bar until the shellplate begins to rotate. This is to reduce any occurance of an accidental double charge.
