After loading up some .308 on Tuesday I came to the conclusion that the Lee
scale I've had for several years is a total POS. It's hard to zero, too
light so that it moves if you look at it wrong, and just feels cheap.
So, I got a Redding #2 powder scale from Amazon to replace it. It's ~5x
the price of the Lee but it's much nicer and
easy to zero. Additionally, the Redding will measure up to 505 grains, vs. the 100 grain capacity of the Lee.
I also got a set of Lyman check weights, and according to
them, the Redding scale is
right on.
Note: A lot of reloading equipment is from Lee. E.g., Classic Turret Press, various sets of dies, hand priming tool, and a bullet sizing die. They work great and fantastic values, but their powder scale just isn't up to snuff, IMHO.
