I didn't say it was new. I didn't say it was expensive. I said it wasn't common.Nah.
An arbor press literally the simplest mechanical press you can design/buy, much simpler than a co-axial press for example. Same thing with an in-line die, its much simpler than a floating-sleeve standard die. And a pin-gauge is much simpler than an inside micrometer...
I have both side by side on my bench...and can run them in comparable calibers.
My first pin-gauge was free...since it was the center post on a $17 lee collet die...
its a perfect -1.8 thou under (or whatever)...and its incredibly sensitive to work hardening simply by feel.
That die is as old as time as well, so you aboslutely do not need "modern" kit to test this stuff at caveman levels of simplicity.
The fact that this stuff isn't ovbious to the vast majority of shooters really is bizzarre. I mean Lee literally talks about testing for work hardening in their instructions for the collet die, since its a remedy for loss of neck tension using the system.
So that method? its probably like 50 years old or whatever....
