mechanical tally counters are dirt cheap. About $3 on Amazon.

I have one of these on my 650 and I rigged up a cord to use a micro switch on the bullet feeder on my sizer to count each time the feeder cycles.

I’m not sure if he still makes these as he only lists the more complicated press monitor on his sight but I think he makes these things to order so you may have good luck contacting him. I won mine in a raffle and would happily buy another it keeps count of rounds loaded (or sized in this case)as well as statistics for rounds per hr.

On hay balers there is a mechanical counter that is hooked to the arm that determines the length of the bale. As the hay moves and reaches the right length the ram trips the lever. As the lever drops it pulls the arm on the counter.
They look like an older car trip odometer. Housed in a box.
I have no pics but it shouldn't be hard to find and rig.

RCBS once had the counter option for the AmmoMaster Progressive. Actuated off of the powder drop.

You can also use a step counter mounted to the handle. They are about a dollar.
