My scale just died
Well it died in less than 2 years, it was one of those lyman that dispense powder to. Not what I wanted to happen when I developing loads for next season and I needed to load some coyote loads, cause I'm out after a range trip.

heres a cheap in a pinch quick fix, get ya a lee powder measure will run usually around 20 bucks. you could get a lee powder scale too but i wouldnt even though they are pretty accurate scales they are a B**** to work with especially if you have fat fingers like me. but for a few bucks more in the 40 dollar range you can get a dillon eliminator beam scale. thats what id do just my 2 cents

But you have to have a scale to verify the setting of any powder measure........

Lee Powder Measure Kit
Fifteen uniformly graduated and proportioned powder dippers. Slide card shows the grains of powder each measure will dispense of every type of powder.
Powder measures are inherently safe as they cannot get out of adjustment. That's why powder dippers continue to be the first choice of reloaders who load in small quantities.

RE: My scale just died
Just go ahead and bite the bullet, buy a lee scale, use it until your wife gets her bonus. Then replace your good ,more expensive scale, and put your lee up until your next breakdown. You will surely have one cause electronics just have a habit of screwing up. Then and most important, if you got a wife who will spend her money on your hobbies, give her a big hug from me!!!
