Scales and Powder Dispensers

Why accurate powder measurement is crucial

The exact amount of powder in each cartridge directly affects multiple aspects of your ammunition performance:

• Safety: Too much powder can lead to dangerously high pressures
• Accuracy: Inconsistent powder loads cause variable velocities and trajectories
• Reliability: Too little powder can lead to incomplete combustion and failure
• Grouping: Even small variations in powder charges translate to larger groups at distance

For reloaders seeking exceptional precision, such as benchrest and long-range shooters, accuracy to 0.1 grain (0.0065 grams) or better is often required. For hunting and tactical applications, consistency within 0.2 grain is usually sufficient, but still essential for reliable performance.

With the right combination of scale, powder dispenser and accessories, you can not only improve the accuracy of your loads, but also make the loading process more efficient without sacrificing precision.

Digital scales for ultimate precision

Basic digital scales.

Frankford' s DS-750 Reloading Scale offers an excellent combination of accuracy, reliability and affordability. With a resolution of 0.1 grain, this scale is perfect for most reloading applications. Its compact size and long battery life make it a practical choice for both home and field use.

Lyman' s Digi-Touch 1500 scale combines ease of use with reliable performance. The large backlit display and touch screen operation make accurate measurements easy, even in environments with less than optimal lighting. With a 1500 grain capacity, this scale is suitable for virtually all reloading applications.

The RCBS Reloading Scale is a proven option for reloaders who value durability and reliability. RCBS is known for its rugged construction, and this digital scale is no exception. With accuracy to meet the demands of the most demanding reloaders, this is a value addition to any reloading station.

Advanced precision scales

For reloaders seeking the highest level of precision, ON BALANCE' s RSS-20 RELOADR™ 20G x 0.001G offers exceptional accuracy down to 0.001 grams (approximately 0.015 grain). This ultra-precise scale is ideal for load development and competition ammunition where even the smallest variations can be significant.

The RMM-100 RELOADR™ - 100 x 0.005 g offers an excellent compromise between range and accuracy. With a capacity of 100 grams and a precision of 0.005 grams, this scale is perfect for both standard loads and bulk weighing of components such as projectiles.

Advanced Powder Dispensers

The revolutionary Weighing Scale and Powder Dispenser - Frankford Intellidropper represents the latest generation in powder dispensing technology. This intelligent system combines a high-accuracy scale with an automatic dispenser controlled by advanced software. With bluetooth connectivity and an intuitive app, the Intellidropper can store and output loading recipes with exceptional accuracy and speed.

Benefits of the Intellidropper:

• Automatic dispensing to within 0.1 grain accuracy
• Database functionality for storing loading data
• Speeds up the loading process without sacrificing precision
• Minimizes human error in the measurement process
• Consistent results regardless of environmental conditions

Frankford' s Bench Top Powder Mill is an essential tool for fine-tuning your powder loads. This precision instrument allows you to add individual powder pellets to your scale, giving you absolute control over the weight of your loads. Perfect for load development and loading match-grade ammunition.

Essential powder funnels and accessories

A good powder funnel prevents spills and ensures the powder ends up exactly where it belongs - in the shell. Redding' s Powder funnel offers reliable performance and durability in a no-nonsense design. Made of high-quality material that does not become static, this funnel reduces the risk of sticky powder pellets and ensures a smooth transfer from powder to casing.

For reloaders working with different calibers, Frankford' s Kruittrechter set aluminimum offers a versatile solution. This set includes multiple hopper sizes to fit different casing diameters, allowing you to work efficiently without changing or improvising hoppers. The aluminum construction eliminates static problems common with plastic funnels.

Lyman ' s Powder Pal™ Universal Funnel offers an innovative approach to powder transfer with its universal design that fits virtually all caliber sizes. Its anti-static properties and user-friendly design make this a valuable addition to any reloading setup.

For ultimate control over your powder flow, Frankford' s Powder Trickler offers a precision tool that allows you to add individual powder pellets to your scale. This is essential for achieving exact weights, especially for competition and precision loads.

Area 419 's Master Funnel kit represents the top end in powder funnel technology. This high-performance kit is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal spillage, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate loading process.

Best practices for accurate powder measurement

For optimal results when measuring and dispensing powder, follow these proven tips from experienced reloaders:

Scale calibration and use

• Calibrate your scale regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions
• Place the scale on a stable, flat surface free from vibration
• Avoid air currents around the scale while measuring
• Allow digital scales to warm up before use (usually 10-15 minutes)
• Check your scales regularly with a calibrated check weight
• Protect your scale from electromagnetic interference from electronics

Work efficiently and safely with gunpowder

• Always work with one type of powder at a time to avoid mix-ups
• Close powder containers immediately after use to avoid contamination and moisture
• Store loaded cartridges separately from unloaded cartridges to avoid confusion
• Regularly check your powder dispenser for accuracy during longer loading sessions
• Consider using a powder mill for fine-tuning loads
• Develop a systematic routine to ensure consistency
