6mm BRA, K&M force pack - Standard or Low Force?

[drano38]

On a 6 BRA, 105-108 gr bullets, loaded neck diameter of .269, what is the seating force you're seeing with the K&M or Century 21?
I'm looking at getting a K&M, and need to decide on which force pack. If seating force is always less than 50 psi, the low one will give more resolution on the dial, which goes up to 50. But if some loads can go over 50, then I obviously need the standard force pack (150 psi max).

@drano38, many have gone down this rabbit hole, to include myself. If you are set on measuring seating force get the standard pack. I tested with one for awhile before determining that my brass was consistent enough to not need one, and that the science is inconclusive.

Thanks David, that's good info.
I did read the searches I hit on this forum, and agree, some swear by it, others say don't waste the money.
I think I'll buy the plain K&M arbor press. Plenty of people say its a very nice press, and I'll only load one caliber, so allan wrench height change isn't a factor.
After some experience with it, I will most likely be able to feel the heavy/light seating forces, and may decide I don't need the force gauge either. But still gives me the option to add it if desired.

Here’s a question
is there a formula for converting PSI which is pressure to FP/Energy, I’m interested in comparison.
