Thanks for all of the feedback. I am going to order the Smart Weigh digital model recommended by mike campbell.
And because why not, I am also looking at a few used beam scales. The ones available are: Lyman D7, Lyman Pro 500, Redding #2. What is the best of the bunch? Or should I look for a RCBS 5-0-5?
Thanks again..... |

I'm not impressed with the new Redding's.
At first glance, they look cast. Beware.. they are crinkle painted, hollow. Pretty lightweight. Even the first green ones, need a counterweight installed under the bottom.
The scale graduations are on a STICKER, stuck to the poise. Not engraved. I love their presses, and have a couple, but the scales are an embarrassment to the Redding line, and overpriced.
This is why I stay with some of my older equipment.
The others I'm not familiar with.
Welcome to the fourm. Good folks here, started by the same. |
