Vapodog,

Your right about the scale, I use an RCBS scale now 5-0-5, Forster case trimmer, dies are assorted as to what was on the shelf at the time. .... mostly Lyman I have a set or 2 of LEE though. Next thing I' m looking to upgrade is the scale ... I' d like a digital. Any experience there good or bad?

I have used the original rcbs electronic scale since it first became available.I find it just as accurate as my balance scales and much,much quicker.I haven' t used a balance scale in many years as a result.As well the zero is very consistant and the scale seems unaffected by air currents in the room.

NE Hunter, I' ve use a PACT BBK digital scale for several years now. It is very compact, easy to use and accurate. They are available directly from PACT for $89.95 which is a very good price for a digital scale. Here is their web addy http://www.pact.com/cgi-bin/store/co...product=scales , good luck!
