I use it also. From 223 to 300rum. Made some unbelievable accurate loads just using that scale. It's slow but I reload for accuracy and a hobby. Nothing else
Thanks for the comment! I hope that I explained it well enough so people will know how to use it. It is a very good scale and I use it to verify that my digital scale is not acting up.
Great why to check you weights.... I took my 200mg weight up to the jewelry store,they have incredible weighing equipment there, they had no problem weighing my standard which I use for my scale calibration. Actually they were quite interested in why I wanted to be so perfect. They even let me file it down reweighted it about 5 times to where it was exactly 3 grains to the 3rd decimal point😉and I use that for my standard now ,they were Extremely nice people. I do have a digital scale but it floats around all the time. Thanks for sharing🍸

My reloading bench is in a corner of my garage. I have found that dust settling on the beam will throw off the zero calibration. I keep the scale covered now.
Yeah those scales are really sensitive. I also cover all my reloading equipment. Thanks for watching my video and commenting! Check out the rest of my channel. I am having a giveaway when I reach 750 subscribers. It’s a $25 dollar gift card to cabelas. Take care. PA
Zero is a white line on zero- a white line on 1- a white line on 9. If you want 6/10 , 6 must be in the middle!!!! White lines on both sides of the 6 with of course a white line on 6 also. ALWAYS 3 lines!!!!!!!! The number you want is in the MIDDLE. ZERO is in the middle of 1 and 9 !!!!!!!
@@pareloader5989 , you are very welcome. I have used scales similar to Lee in science classes in college many, many decades ago. Yes, I’m over the hill old. Lol. Your scale has very tight tolerances and is very, very accurate. More accurate than a beam scale that goes to 500 grains(RCBS). The table you set the scale on , must be level. Beam scales can weigh your breath. Enjoy your reloading. Reloading is a very relaxing hobby for me.
@@albertforletta1498 thank you sir! As long as your mind is young at heart age means nothing! Enjoy your reloading also. I find it very therapeutic! PA
Your more than welcome! I hope that you got something from the video that you can apply to your reloading. It really is a good scale. Take care and stay safe! Merry Christmas to you brother!
@@pareloader5989 Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well! Yeah, I've been using the basic Lee loader hand tools for a couple of years and doing a little research on how to improve. Thanks again.
@@jeffersoncarlisle3125 I started out with the LEE breach lock single stage press. I really love that press. I reload my hunting rounds on that so I can really dial in my reloads. LEE products are good. You just have to except that it's the working man's reloading equipment. I am going to buy next the LYMAN 8 stage turret press. Looks really nice and I have seen 76 highboy use his. Also I would invest in the LYMAN case prep express. It makes case prep a breeze and it really saves your hands from fatigue.
@@pareloader5989 cool thanks for the advice. I started reloading with cap and ball revolvers, LOL. I'm not doing any prepping on my cases yet (.30-06 and 38 Special) so I have a lot to learn. I'm trying to save up for a Rossi R92 lever gun in .357 so it will be a while before I get a press. I have some H110 powder I got for my .410 shotgun and hear that it is very powerful stuff. It has .357 load data on the container. I was thinking a scale would be good to have because I just have the Lee Dippers set. Seems like a digital scale would be easiest, but I like that the Lee Safety Powder Scale does not depend on batteries. I don't mind the slowness of the Lee hand tools but it would be nice to have a more uniform load with a press. Also being able to produce more ammo would be nice if I get into Cowboy Action shooting...if only I had more time and money ha ha....anyway, Merry Christmas from Oregon!
I can never get it to show one white line. It shows a faint one on either side and a slightly less faint in the middle. I got a digital scale because that just wasn’t cutting it or me. I will say once I set it, it seemed consistent.
@@TheCaptnHammer when you zero the scale you are supposed to see zero and a faint white line on the 9. That’s just the way it is. I trust that scale over any digital scale out there. Thanks for commenting. I hope that this helps you. PA
3D Texan. Thank you for commenting and watching my video! Really appreciate it! Yes that is LEEs new powder thrower. I actually love it because you can see the amount of powder you have left. Also I did a video on the LEE perfect powder measure adapter that allows you to charge right on your press. Check it out. All in all I think that its great. Hope this helps! PA
My powder measure is set according to the load data for each specific caliber. I usually try to stay to the middle of the min and max. Hope this helps. PA
Thank you for watching my video and commenting! I really lay appreciate it! Yes the scale can be a little finicky.

@@pareloader5989 thanks, OK I'll ask,would seating the bullet. 010 thousandths deeper in case raise pressure alot or isn't the power that measurable? I'm using RMR bullets for my .380 lcpmax 95 gr fmjrn .355 in diameter and .465 tall. I seat them at .970 overall length with 2.6 grains of hp-38. Cci 500 primer, The Recoil is next to none, great accuracy, but the bullets are only jumping out of the gun about a foot and landing at my feet I'm afraid of failure to feeds or stove pipes. I loaded 5 and all ran, I want to keep the small charge and no recoil , I want to keep the load LIGHT for my wife's little hands and not be so Snappy. I guess the real question is if I can seat the bullet a little bit deeper so I can get a little more punch out of it by shortening the overall length by 10 thou. And keep 2.6 grs. ? Or go to 2.8gr. And hope for better ejection?
