Where did you get the complete gauge set-up from?
Did you make any of it yourself or was it all pre-made?
Did you need to make the threads for the handles and rod to fit and work properly?

It's a Chatillon force gauge that I bought it on Ebay a few years ago for about $25. It's threaded on both ends and I can push or pull on either end. It came in a nice wooded box with numerous attachments and 2 handles that screw into the sides. I think it would cost about $200 now days. I had an old bow stabilizer made out of nylon that I tapped and that end screws onto the gauge. And that is epoxied onto a T/C ramrod that I bought at Walmart after the season for $11 and I put a Spinjag on the bottom of it.
I convert BH209 volume to weight in grains which runs about 68 gr on my beam scale for 100 grains by volume and I weight every charge then. So I try to be repetitive in everything with my ML and a consistent seating pressure is just one. I wish I could acquire "the feel" to enable me to seat the sabot the exactly the same amount that you guys do but I'm not that good. So I cheat - I use a gauge.
