If you want to keep it simple, and inexpensive, bolt a press to a piece of plywood, use your regular threaded seating dies. All you need is a pair of C clamps and some sort of table or shooting bench to clamp your press to. Unless your range is busy on the day that you test, you can probably clamp it to the bench next to the one you are shooting on, or to the other side of the one that you are shooting from, if it is.What do those that seat bullets at the range to test seating depth use? All the arbor press stuff is foreign to me.
Just looking to see what others are using these days. I figure I could seat some long and then fine tune at the range and obtain immediate results/data.

This is what I use. Best of both worlds.Harrells Precision Combo Press

Is there standardization of dies that fit in an arbor press? Just called arbor dies?
The Wilson style seater over all length depends on the caliber and the bullet, but those are no problem for typical designs.Is there standardization of dies that fit in an arbor press? Just called arbor dies?
