From the outset of F-class endeavours I have been lucky to use the Targetmaster system.
I had purchased a standard Redding No 2 scale to use in conjunction with the TM. I thought it was pretty good but the more I used it the more I came to realise that the scale was the weakpoint in the process,
Anyway after some reviewing some websites and some discussions with Allan (1066) I realised that a thing called a "tuned beam scale" existed.
So after the Euro's I spoke to Alan and he produced a deluxe tuned scale... RCBS 5-0-5 with a USB camera . :cheers:
And I have been using it and I cannot properly articulate or explain the scale of the improvement. It takes a great system and makes it brilliant!
The scale is much smoother and you can just feel the balance and it just stops perfectly!
I don't have the hooks and judders that randomly affected the standard Redding
Alan had calibrated it for me. I loaded about 150 round in the past 3 weeks and was extremely happy with its overall improvement and the fact that over 40 tested charges the average throw was within 0.01 of the target charge!
BUT tonight ... well I was so impressed as I loaded some test rounds just now .. that I stopped loading to come and post this report!
I set it for 46.0 and threw 3 charges - my Lab scale ... shows 3 x 46.0
I set it for 47.0 and threw 3 charges - my Lab scale ... shows 3 x 47.0
I set it for 48.0 and threw 3 charges - my Lab scale ... shows 3 x 48.0
I set it for 48.5 and threw 3 charges - my Lab scale ... shows 3 x 48.5
Based on what I have seen I would happily take that Beam scale to a range and throw a charge as set my the beam scale and totally trust it!
Calibration, precision, repeatable and portable!
World class product - Alan - World class!

I have been using a similar set up except the beam scale is a calibrated Hornady a scale I rate highly.
My results have convinced me that this is the most accurate powder measuring system on the planet as far as I am concerned.
