I have had a 450 press for about 40 yrs! Only prob was the Perspex hopper tube cracked. I asked about replacement cost from US and received two FOC. Can't complain about that

Yes.

Never tried using an on-press measure though, so can't comment on that aspect.

Do you run the case through the press then hand load the powder

I run case-prep as normal, at full speed (circa 1000 per hour). During the loading pass I drop a weighed charge into a case-operated powder drop; the rest runs as normal, including bullet feeder etc, which produces between 250 and 300 per hour, depending on the charge precision required.
