Just received my LCD counter in the mail and wanted to share the first impressions with you guys.
It's mounted on my Hornady progressive press.

Got it off ebay for $10US incl shipping.
It has a reset and pause button and comes with a microswitch with roller and a few feet of wire already attached to the switch.

Found a great spot to mount the switch; on the case activated powder drop so it counts only cases that get filled with powder so it's not counting ram cycles at startup and end of batch that do not add a finished round.

I cut a small aluminium plate and drilled 3 holes in it to mount the switch on and could screw this it in an existing tapped hole in the powder drop hardware so mounting could not have been easier.

Love it, it works great. It is battery powdered (1.5 volt) so no transformer or power supply needed.

Hope this is helpful for others looking for a counter for their press.
