Actually gw I'm with you all the way. My main idea on my first post was to show that I could the same thing with a no charge coat hanger that the OP does with his neat little electronic giz-moe.I guess you could do it that way, but it seems a little awkward to me. I just pull the unprimed case out of station 1 and toss it in with the other unsized cases, then finish loading the other three primed cases. Then I refill the primer tube, and go on. It also is a good stopping point to check weights and replenish brass and bullets.
I don't see a significant advantage of a beeper telling you it's empty rather than just feeling that it's empty or seeing that the follower is bottomed out. It's still empty and you can tell either way.
Also, using my advanced ciphering skills, I have been able to ascertain a peculiar one-to-one relationship between primers used and rounds loaded. It's uncanny.
Usually if I'm going to continue to load on my 550, after seating on the "no primer" mode, I pull out the powder charged case, re-fill the primer magazine, stroke it, seat the primer, re-install the powder charged case, rotate, and go on.
