Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles powder scale

I wondered when you would pipe up

In response to some of the points above, I am using the pan for my Pact with my Lyman, just takes a minute to zero the scale.

I can trickle up charges faster and with more consistency with the Lyman. I found that running all but the smallest stick powders and ball through my Pact dispenser, I would get frequent over-runs wasting time.

Now, I use the Pact set 1-2/10's under and trickle up with the Lyman, pretty fast, consistent and accurate. Although mathman and probably others will say I am wasting my time trickling up to the gnats ass

I do set the BR30 with an average of 10 drops and then go to town with 223.

RCBS 1010

35 years, no issues. Maybe I am lucky. I tried a PACT, twice. The second one went in the trash after three warranty attempts between the two so I gave up. I am sure they are better these days but really see no reason to revert...

I have the Lee safety scale, an RCBS 1010, and I have the RCBS digital scale with the powder dispenser. All work fine for me.

Another vote for the RCBS 10-10!

I have a darned good powder measure mounted on the bench. But if I am loading less than fifty rounds of rifle cartridges, it takes less time to spoon powder into the 10-10 one load at a time, than it does to set the measure to deliver the proper charge of stick powder.

The balance beam bounces off of bottom just a few grains below your target, and the magnetic damping minimizes swings as you approach target weight.

It is a very well engineered tool.
