    Reloading Scale and Case Trimmers

    I am looking for a decent DIGITAL reloading scale I currently have a magnetically stabilized balance arm style but I want something a little faster (digital) so that its more practical to weigh every charge when loading for accuracy. I also dont want to spend 600 for some crazy scale just a solid basic accurate digital reloading scale.

    Also I am looking for a decent universal case trimmer. I have the lee case trimming set up but cant seem to find anyone that has .308 pilot guides in stock.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

      Not a fan of digital scales so no advise there.
      But after years of trimming with a lyman trimmer I finally got a Giraud.
      Expensive but worth it if you reload a bunch.
      Trims, chamfers inside and out, all in one step.

            For the scale, get a chargemaster. Only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner.

            For a trimmer, the Giraud is great. If you can find a deal on a Gracey, then go for it and buy the Giraud blade for it.

              +1 on the RCBS Chargemaster and Possum Hollow trimmers.

              I use the RCBS 750 and am quite happy with it.

              If I was planning to weigh a lot of individual charges, I'd get the 1500 with powder dispenser. I think Natchez or Midway has the package on sale for about $20-$30 off retail right now.

              I have possum hollow trimmers in .223 and .243. They are not as fancy or as fast as the Gracey, Giraud or Dillon trimmer setups, but they're a fraction of the price.

              Good luck,

                Windhawker is selling a Denver Instruments scale in the thread below. Great scale.

                    +1. I'm happy with the 750. i dont have any charges that should need the 1500, yet... i would suggest the chargemaster combo for ease, but i have discovered that i can charge faster and just as accurate as a chargemaster doing it the old fashion way- dispenser and trickler. however the chargemaster would allow you to use that charging time on other reloading processes like bullet seating, etc...
