I cleaned the surface of the workbench. I can now breathe a sigh of relief.
Took 1500 clean pieces of 556 brass to our recreation log house to separate by head stamp. Hope it’s worth it. Need magnifying glasses to see them even after cleaning.
Hey, I bet you could win too. That is a bunch of de-priming work. james
I tried to confirm drops from my Ohaus/ RCBS 10-10 beam scale.
I am not confident in its settings, especially the tenth guage.
I must be missing something, what is it?
Much obliged, Max
Opened up all the cases of primers I have collected in the last few years and put them on the shelf so I have a clue what I have and what I need. Its so cluttered I am still confused. Guess I will be taking my reloading books and moving them off the shelf to make more room so I can spread out the primers in sections. If I only spent as much time shooting these days as I do cleaning I would be a much happier person.
Stop being blinded by your own ignorance.
Meaning that you aren't confident that it'a accurate? Only way to know is to test it with known weights. This set is similar to what I have.

You will have to do some calculating, because the set is calibrated in grams, not grains.

Hi Switzer, yes accuracy is the issue. I was looking for a way to check the small increments like tenths of a grain. i know that RCBS or Ohaus will accept it back for calibration but I am trying to avoid that>
Much obliged, Max
In that set you will have weights as small as 10 milligrams, which is 0.154 grain
From there you can make even smaller ones from bits of fine copper wire. Fussy work, but it can be done.
