Dev Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am currently using a Lyman 1000 XP. It takes a fair bit of work to get the charge I want. It is constantly drifting and has to be checked with the calibration weight during and after every charge that is weighed. I shoot FTR and need a scale that is reliable and which measures to .02gr. What are your recommendations and where is the best place to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Targetmaster and any decent beam scale although asking for 0.02 of a grain resolution is a little challenging so you might need a tuned beam scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cost about £250 Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I will be looking for an electronic scale. I don't like beam scales. Was looking at the GemPro 250. Anyone have any experience with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your recommendations and where is the best place to look? Watch Mr Surplusnut on UTube, he explains in depth how good the Gem pro scales are, maybe what your looking for. See link ------------> I have the RCBS Chargemaster 1500, it works great for me but bench rest / long range shooters may need to take it to the next level.

rutland12 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi After years using the RCBS charge master I have changed to a 5-0-5 which I have found is far more consistant. I am using the CM as a expensive powder thrower ! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm using a RCBS charge master to throw then I use a Dandy trickler to trickle up onto a Gempro 250 (as recommended by Grant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22/250 foxer Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I see you can get the gem pro cheaper from usa. But would have to get adaptor as the plugs are different there. saying that with shipping and import tax and vat. Plus royal mail handling charges bet it isn't much of a saving in the end. The do look really good though. And im thinking of changing my 505 beam scale for one. I did think about the charge master. But hear from alot of people who have gone back to beam scales after having one. Yet others have said they wouldn't have beam scales again and really like the. chargemaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcampbellsmith Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I see you can get the gem pro cheaper from usa..... I got scales from the USA for a friend and they didn't work. It caused the guy no end of bother getting it all sorted out. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 +1 for gem pro. Chargemaster hasn't been used in a year. Drop the loads out into your cases with powder measure then trickle up with the dandy. Surprisingly fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
