Pressure measuring device for bullet seating

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a pressure measuring device used to measure the pressure being applied to a ramrod of a muzzleloading firearm during bullet seating. A pressure measuring device may include a housing, a spring, and a ramrod receiving portion. The pressure measuring device may also and/or alternatively include electrical circuitry used for converting the applied pressure to an electrical signal.
