Scott Parker Scale Tuning

[sparker]

My message for Scott Parker is from now on only sell tuned classic beam scales you have in stock ready to ship. And accept payment via a conventional way like PayPal, which offers buyer protection. If someone requests a tune up on their scale, then only offer to take it in as a core credit for a like one you already have sitting on the shelf. End of problems!!

Thank you for your constructive advice.

I'm gonna go plug in my Redding #1 so it can warm up, I find it drifts less when I give it 15 minutes or so after turning on.

Don’t forget the line conditioner!

Seriously a feature or lack of 1 so to speak is the pan hanger/weighted pan that your charge pan rests on.
With the Redding it just has the wire hanger. Zero chance of a kernel or 2 of powder laying in the screw slot.

That is my setup. Just aim a webcam at the pointer and run it through my laptop, and there you have it.

I have a collection of powder throwers that function in different ways, I will choose one to use for a reloading session to fill the pan......Gotta' Keep It Fun......

Parker tuned scales ( I have 2 ) are a pleasure to use.......

I’m starting to like my fancy pants balance. Although I still have a couple beam scales.

And a true collectors item to boot.

Don't forget to keep it away from anything "lectricical".

I have two of these green bodied #1s with matching pans and two Dandy tricklers. Now to figure out the right sequence and rhythm.

I am trying to purchase a nice 505 I dont need it I just want it in my collection. My name is Ken and I have a problem.............hahahahahahaha.

Maybe we can do some trading. Let me close the deal.

Mr Parker............is it true the 505 line of scales is better to use for smaller powder charges. That the 10/10 line of scales is more for larger rifle type charges?

I like the thin blade to adjust for tenths of a grain. Effectively, all pistols charge weights are to be found within the “micrometer poise” drum on a 10-10 beam. That arrangement does not make me feel right.

S Parker what are the best RCBS scales to true? I have several.

 

[sparker]

A 502 would be my first pick. The best is a tuned Lyman M5.

Let me look. I have a 5-10 and a 5-0-5, are they worth working on? To be honest if my chargemaster was just a little more precise I would never bother.

5-10 will tune up well.

I like antiques too but not on my reloading bench. Sure I've got a beam but it collects dust because my time is valuable and my V4 is above and beyond a beam scale and if you are loading in a black out or the end of the world you are a day late and a dollar short.
