I am also going to have a buy a new press not sure on what one but i like the old Lyman Crusher. But cant seam to find it anywhere. I looked on Midway they have the new one but not the old Orange one.
So let me know what yea think about the Scale Maybe there is one better out that i am missing.

RE: lyman scale
I have a Lyman/Ohaus M5, 1,000-grain scale I bought in 1968 in Colorado Springs CO. It has been dragged all over the country since then, and is still accurate to within 1/10 of a grain, just like the day I bought it. It has weighed many thousands of powder charges, bullets, and cartridge cases in those years also!
I'd put it up against ANY mechanical powder scale made today, regardless of maker!!

I have the same scale--bought in the '60's. It too has been hauled all over the country, and when I set it up, the test weights are right on.

RE: lyman scale
For the last 25yrs I have had a Lyman "All American" turret press and a Lyman Beam Scale. I have an RCBS electronic scale and the Lee cup measures, but I trust the beam scale more. I also have 2 tricklers.The Rock Chucker is not bad!
