Have you tried the search function?

Surprising what has been covered here over the years.

Sorry yeah I did but most people either say to use Beam scales or are very contradictory. Just wondered if anyone had a new opinion on it before I purchase a set, which currently are looking to be the Smartreloader SR2500 which I can't find allot of info on but look to be pretty good.

Good beam scales are the way to go unless you want to spend to get decent digitals.

I wouldn't have Smartreloader kit if it was given away, cheap chinese made copies.

Okay that's useful to know! Glad I asked ;) I think the main reason for the digital's was speed over beam. I have the lee beam scales that came with the kit and they are not the fastest to wait for them to settle, plus I find them pretty fiddly to set up.

As a new member with your first post having been in the for sale section, even although we ask you to read and understand our rules and abide by them, you also have to do a work around to get posting in the for sale section when logged on, then obviously your further posts are scrutinised.

We ask for meaningful posts and stuff that could be construed as being purely there for to increase your post count to access the for sale section are removed, subjective call but how it is.

Okay fair enough, the reason I asked was I had seen other peoples comments also dissapear, but that wasn't my intentions. I was genuinely interested in advice on scales and did cross reference what was said on here with what is on the Stalking directory which I have been on there for a fair while, which I noted you are also on I believe, remember seeing your photo on several threads I had discussed on in the past. All of my comments were genuine references or discussion points but like you say it is a subjective call.

Please feel free to remove this and my previous comment as I am aware it is not pertinent to this topic but it was the only way I could ask the question.
