Have a old postal scale that weighs up to about 25 lbs. Not real precise but very useful in the shop. Most components I have listed in a notebook with # per pound. Tare weight marked on the bottom of a couple of Aluminum cake pans. Saves a lot of counting and guessing, how many loads are left in that bag of shot or can of powder ?

Single charge of powder bullets and shot use a very old Lyman beam scale that I check with a Lyman weight set, bought it used over 30 years ago. Check everything when setting up don't weigh all loads. Slow but don't use if for long runs. It's precise never needs a new battery and you can get them off Ebay cheap. Main thing is to get one of the check weight sets make sure what you read is what it is.
