So I'm cobbling together a reloading setup for myself finally, and I have just about everything I need except for a powder scale.
My first instinct was to go for an RCBS 502 or 505 but I've been reading around about them, and it seems that only older ones are worth a damn. I'm reading a lot of negative reviews about the newer RCBS scales and the quality of their manufacture.
Back when I was doing school I remember the science scales that the schools had could measure out chemicals with amazing precision, and so I thought about maybe getting an electronic scale. However, I've also read lots of negative reviews about electronic reloading scales. Zeroing issues seem rampant, and a lot of customers seem to get totally unusable scales when they order through online retailers.
Then I thought about just getting a high-end science scale that could measure in grains. I shuddered when I saw the prices. So that's a no-go.
Anyways. The issue here is that everything seems to be an absolute crap shoot in terms of quality. So can anyone recommend a brand that they've recently bought that seems to do right?
Any other recommendations as to what I should do to measure out powder reliably?
Thanks in advance.
