[QUOTE="CanisLupus, post: 2409318, member: 119041"] I agree with Axl that you can 'feel' differences in seating with an arbor press. That is one of the beauties of an arbor press, IMO. However, 'feel' is subjective. I do not write down my gauge readings. Through experience, I just know that I should expect to be within a range of specific numbers when my process is 'consistent' and 'stable.' If something in my process changes (whether deliberate or not), I may be able to 'feel' a difference in seating force, but it sure is nice to quantify it. I don't know about you, but my 'feel' is not the same all the time (I'm human)…especially when seating at my reloading bench versus at the range, due to many variables. Numbers allow me to establish a more objective baseline for how my seating process should be performing. My ability to 'feel' from bullet-to-bullet, day-to-day is just not reliable. What's another $89 to obtain actual numbers to reference? To me, in the grand scheme of things…it's nothing. YMMV. I trust you will be happy with the arbor press, force pack or not. Have fun.
