The Lee Auto-Disk Powder Measure (and the Auto Disk Pro too) both come with a stiff spring that pulls the disk back under the hopper after operation. That's the intended setup for using the measure on a single stage or a turret press.
I see that there is a different actuating arm/lever that is used on the measure when it is on a progressive press. There is no return spring, but instead a chain connects between the lever and the ram of the press. The operation of the press ram is what pulls the disk on the powder measure back under the hopper after operation.
It seems that either type of return would work on either type of press, as long as there is some means of attaching the chain to the ram. Or am I missing something? Is there a reason for the different setup on the progressive press?
