Ekectronic Powder Measure or scale

- No text -

I’ve not had any problems. I always double check against a beam scale periodically and it’s been right on for the 3 or 4 years I’ve owned it.
I will say I’ve been going back to the uniflow more and more. It’s faster and just as accurate.

There are some things to watch for when using an electronic scale. Any breeze can disrupt and static electricity will disrupt. Temperature changes can affect the reading. I used my balance beam to verify until i figured out a few things. That was right around the year 2000. I got a new electronic scale a few years ago, and they are much faster now than they were 20 years ago.

There will come a time when you will need to weigh something that weighs more than 500 grains. I use the RCBS 2000 scale that weighs up to 2000 grains. There are a bunch of really good ones out there but I would go with a brand name. I like RCBS as if anything goes wrong they will replace it no charge.

combo. They are usually good but in the time it takes to dispense one load of powder into the pan I can drop powder from my Uniflow powder dispenser in 25 cases. Plus the deluxe Lyman I bought required you to take the thing apart after each powder dispensing to make sure there weren't any powder flakes down in the crevices and to clean the hopper that holds the powder. I reload every night of the week for the next days test firing so I don't have time to do all that. I just stay with the RCBS Uniflow powder dispenser and the RCBS 2000 scale.

let you know how it is when it gets here. Just got a message it had shipped so it will be a few days.

If I could find an older 505 I'd buy it. The 5-10 sccale I have is really temperamental, maybe due to the very light base. I like to weigh every 10th load for my pistols and every load for my rifles. I have three powder measures a Uniflow, an old Ideal and a lee perfect. The lee is stiff and sticky to operate so I have taken it out of service. I will look at some of the electronic scsles.
