Title: Hand loading scale recommendation
Post by: YukonC on January 22, 2021, 05:13:59 PM
Hello I have everything on the way for loading my own shot shells besides a scale. Can anyone suggest a good scale? Leaning towards digital but I am open to suggestions and experiences.

I have a Redding Model #2 that I haven't used in a long time and would like to sell. It's like new in box. Midway says it retails @$150 on sale for $100. I'll sell mine for $50 shipped to your door. I can send pictures, can't get my pic to load.

I appreciate the offer. I did some research last night and would like to stick to digital. The scale will need to have the capacity to weigh 2-2 1/2oz of shot as well. Seems like I can get a few $25 scales and just test them against each other. Still researching.

Several years now on a Lyman Accu Touch 2000, was recommended by the man that owns Coastal Precision in Georgia and used to develop loads for McWhorter rifles for what it's worth.  Has been excellent, and I don't use the trickler, everything is hand poured.

Been using a Ballistic Products 1500 for years without issue.
