Pro Auto Disk

[john127]

I originally bought my Pro Auto Disk for use on my Lee Turret Press, that I bought some years ago. As most of you may know, Turret press use employs the heavy spring return.

When I bought my LLM last summer, I removed the spring & started using the chain return.

Lately, the charger will hesitate or even hang up on the down stroke of the ram & seems the chain would break if I forced in down.

I tried everything from cleaning/oiling to removing any burrs until I finally removed the curved washer from the pull back lever. Although I haven't tested it during a reload session, that 1 thing seems to have alleviated the problem.

Anyone else here remove that washer for the same reason, or is it necessary to have it there for both chain & spring return use?
