Reloading presses with bullet seating pressure gauge ?

[zipollini]

Have found two arbor presses with seating pressure gauges.

and the

Are there any other press (conventional or arbor) that measure bullet seating pressure ?

Any comments as to which works best in your experience would be greatly appreciated.

I have both and the 21st Century is hands down the best one.

I just finished a search and found quite a lot to read. Interesting stuff. Does anybody make a conventional press (not arbor) with a force or pressure gauge ?

This should give you something to think about.

I have not tried one, and do not know anyone who has.

Boyd - Would be great fun checking out the LoadForce thing. Somebody really had their thinking cap on when they designed it. Unfortunately it wasn't the marketing cap Great find and thanks.

If you get one, let us know about your experiences with it.

setting the bullet on top of the case is like starting over, I had rather have the old universal seating die, the case mouth is aligned in the die before the bullet is dropped through the hole in the side.

Micro adjust, all of my dies are micro adjust when seating bullets, I am required to furnish the micro adjust too on some of my seating diesl like a height gage or dial caliper.

If you could put one of these in the press, or in the die, it would work. You would need to interpret the 0-5 or 0-10 signal, but that is not difficult.

I wonder if you could put one of these above the seating stem in the die?
