[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1597659, member: 9308"] Let's back the TRUCK up here. This is what the OP wrote: "[B]I'm piecing together a reloading kit and I have everything I need except a scale. I don't participate in competitions of any sorts anymore and mainly shoot for hunting or leisure but the gun club I joined does do a summer league at 300 yards I might participate in this summer.[/B]" He doesn't NEED a high dollar, high precision device that will cost many hundreds (or thousands) of dollars. He is actually "good to go" right now with his Lee Precision Beam scale. Throwing from his powder thrower directly will be 'good enough' precision for his stated needs: [B][I]Hunting[/I][/B]...[B][I]Leisure[/I][/B]...[I][B]300 yard 'league'[/B][/I]. Some of you have certainly given him some 'food for thought' should he get the competition bug in the future. For now, remember that he wants to spend no more than $200 at Cabelas (so he can use his $100 gift card and kick in no more than $100 of his own money.) Looking at the options AGAIN (now that I know he has a beam scale already) I'd suggest the FRANKFORD ARSENAL PLATINUM SERIES SCALE listed at $94.99. It has a 4.8 rating (out of 5) with 12 reviews (11 of those 12 were a 5 star rating). If he is willing to blow his budget by $89.99 (total cost $289.99) the RCBS ChargeMasterLite seems like a great option to augment his beam scale. [/QUOTE]
