Good scale for Blackhorn

[TWyatt]

Can anyone recommend a good scale for weighing BH209? I've been measuring via volume and want to go to weight. Thanks

Hard to go wrong with an RCBS 5-02

I know there are digital scales out there that some people like. Can get expensive. Old style balance beam scales are more affordable. Depends on what you want and budget.

I have used one like this for many years.

If you thought about reloading in the future?spend the good money for reloaders scale?

 

[TWyatt]

I won't be doing any reloading, and I don't shoot a ton. Just wondering if there was a good/accurate, inexpensive scale out there that you guys were using. I'll stick to volume measuring if not.

Check Ebay. There are some balance beam scales for not too much money.

I use a Frankford Arsenal digital scale that does a good job. I don't remember what it cost when I bought it but don't think it was terrible expensive.

I just looked on MidWay USA for Frankford and the scale I have is $77.00. They also show one for about half that price.

Perfect, thank you

I've used balance scales since the 50s and SO happy to get rid of that crap a good ten years ago for a $35 digital scale that reads to +/- .02 grains. I use it for BPCR black powder PPBs as well as the white devil dust cartridges.

I have an RCBS 5-02 I'm not using.
Getting ready to down size on reloading equipment.

Looking for something in the $35ish range if that exists.

You can't go wrong with an RCBS 5-0-2

Good basic scale, it was my backup to my Ohaus digital.

Also bought these to go with the scale.

Based on recommendations from Idaholewis, and multiple other members here, I purchased a Frankford Arsenal DS-750, Digital Pocket Reloader's Scale. It cost $35.00 with Amazon Prime.

I do recall him mentioning that the pan device that came with the scale was pretty worthless, so I purchased a brass RCBS Scale Pan.

Later, I purchased the RCBS Deluxe Scale Weight Check Set for checking on the scales accuracy.

I shopped around for everything, looking for the best prices. I just used Midway USA's website here because of its excellent images for illustrative purposes.
