Help again. Powder scale ?

[Bassfish1952]

1. I always cut a box to put my scale under to keep the draft off. Electronic or mechanical beam scale.
2. Buy a check weight or make one and periodically check when loading. It doesn't need to be any precise weight (a small stainless washer bent in half at 90*), just something you know the weight of that's close to your charge weight, especially when using a digital scale.

Even cheaper mechanical beam scales are surprisingly accurate, repeatable and reliable. I use a web cam hooked up to a laptop to read the scale on mine. I also brought the pointer to a sharper point and colored it. Way easier on my old eyes.

I also recently bought a Ohaus SPX123 used on Ebay for $130. If it was ever used it wasn't much. I plan to use it mostly for loading my 6x47 ammo for long range. You can find deals there if you keep your eyes peeled.

You got me to thinking , I fish and have Tungsten fishing weights from 1/32oz up to 2oz so weigh them record weight and box them for later.

I got a RCBS Rangemaster 2000 and a Lyman Brass Smith 500  scale in today. Compared them to each other and to my old scale. The new ones were right on and repeatable . My old scale was NOT on or repeatable . It's gone and these 2 are set up and ready to go I also ordered 100 90gr ELD-X bullets for training no use using up my good hunting bullets until I am confident in what I am doing. Also I have a GOPRO camera so after using my phone's camera for awhile I hooked it up to view the balance beam. That was a great idea popgun, sure helps my eyesight . I'll let you guys know how things turn out

I"m going to go ahead and form all the 6.5 Grendel Brass I have and wait for the other bullets before I proceed . Then I think I will just start over from square 1
