Newbie to this Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Hi, Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm looking for a reliable scale for pistol load measuring but don't want to spend a fortune ideally under £100, it's just to check the powder load every 10 or so loads. Sorry should have said electronic Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance Newbie Edited January 30, 2018 by Newbie to this Should have said electronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Speak to Claygame their electronic scales are priced well below £100. I use them for all my big bore loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltings Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 balance beam scales would be my choice before electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have both and find the electronic slower than the balance using a trickler. I have both because I check one against the other. Once I have a load that works, then conformity is the main criterior. Trick with a balance if you don't already know it, is to add extra right at the top of the swing, this will stop the bar swinging back and forth. All of the available electronics are much the same. Mine is a Lab commercial model not made by reloading firms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have had a MEC set for ages and they're always accurate. Not expensive either .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
