I have really come to appreciate LEE's "Safety" scale powder measure, because using other scales like Redding's newer "Green" colored scale for instance is accurate, but it is easily bumped out of measurement.
This can be awfully dangerous, specially for a un-suspecting new person to our hobby, so I thought I would write this thread, and also cause it's 4 a.m. :mrgreen:
LEE's safety scale locks in your measurement, and if it's bumped out, it can only go out 10 grains minimum, which the way it's designed- at that point you know somethings wrong cause your mistake obviously becomes a noticeable problem on this scale.
It is darn accurate. I've got 2 other scales and it's right on the money, and the others agree. LEE has some flimsy gear, but this scale is well made, and as strong as it needs to be... unless you drop the beam on the floor, then stomp on it. Could have a problem then.
For powder measurement, LEE's scale is a safe tool. The others I use mostly for weighing bullets. :Fire: :coffee:
