    Default Who's powder scale do you use?

    I don't trust my electronic scale 100% and would like a beam scale to verify charges. So far I've got the Redding #2 on the top of my list. The Dillon looks good also, though a bit more expensive than most. The cost isn't a concern as I want something that's consistent and made in America.

    I have a Redding #2. It gets a lot of use verifying powder charges.

    Had the same suspicions about my Hornady quick load dispenser/scale so I just picked up a Redding #2 for verification. It seems to be up to the task.

    I have the RCBS scale dispenser thingy and a Dillon beam scale. The Dillon has never been out of the box.

    I was using the Redding #2 to verify the Dillon and the RCBS Chargemaster. Then I bought a Sartorius AY123 scale. I now use it with the Redding as a back up to verify the RCBS Chargemaster and Dillon. For the price. I believe the Redding is the best scale out there.

    They all seem to be equally good to me, with the exception of the Lee. Friends had two of the Lee's and I never could get them to read consistent.

    Never had that issue with mine. I have checked it with standards and it was always good. The only time it has issues is due to the operator.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
