Same here! It'll probably be a few weeks until I have a concept with day jobs and all.Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

with day jobs.
Day job?? Quit. Too much opportunity in the world of aftermarket reloading accessories.
Nice!Not yet, February was crazy at work. Hopefully this month.
I'm in if the list is still open.
As far as the questions goes, you would get a setting you like, make a note of it, and when you go back to loading the same bullets, you could get back to the right depth very quickly. I think you would still make a couple small final adjustments, unless the markings provide micrometer accuracy, and then it would be pretty much right on. You would still want to clean the seater, especially when running lead.What are the benefits of doing this verses using the depth end of some calipers, measuring the top of the adjuster to the die? That would make it repeatable between sessions.
I have filed a line on the adjuster of a seating die as a reference, with that and knowing the adjuster's thread pitch I can estimate how much a 1/4-1/2-3/4 turn would change the seating depth and OAL.As far as the questions goes, you would get a setting you like, make a note of it, and when you go back to loading the same bullets, you could get back to the right depth very quickly.

Do you mean like this posted above, post #13:This has brought up a solution to something I never thought about, different seating depths quickly, I usually run a box of bullets at a time, but I can see the benefits if loading multiple bullet profiles with the same die. I like the idea and would like to replace the plastic adjusters that came with some of my die sets.

Same, only differentNo, I'm thinking turn those calipers over and using the stem like measuring depth
I was thinking you would read it like a micrometer. But, that only works with the correct type of indicator marks. I could be wrong about the OP's intentions (design).The problem I see with that is any adjustment beyond a complete turn negates any reference to previous measurements, unless the screw is bottomed and the number of turns out are counted and recorded/noted for each setting.
I might be missing something in the OP's description of what he's planning to make but I can't seeing it working unless it has a spindle that counts the turns like a micrometer.
Still on the list of things to develop, haven't gotten down that far quite yet. So I hope. Catching up on about 10 years of previously shelved projects with all the forced time off out here in the land of California leftcoast unemployment utopia.Any updates on progress of this?
