Hello again!
I have been reloading a lot more on a single stage press than my progressive recently. My single most time consuming process now has been charging cases with powder, and wanted to speed that up a little. The Lee powder measure is accurate with a few taps each charge, but I have this auto-disk powder measure with a charge bar that is dead on. After looking around at the hardware store, I found a .$99 spring that would allow me to use the LM powder measure on the single stage (it charges as the case neck is flared, and resets when the ram is lowered) and it charges cases fast and efficiently. I wanted to share this if anyone has wondered or has done this before.
The spring hooks onto the hole where the chain would go on the powder return, and the other end of the spring goes through a little eye hook I screwed into my bench. The measure is also backwards on my press, as it keeps everything out of my left hand side.
