I all ready have a targetmaster trickler set up with a Hornady scale I use this set up all the time.
I don't want to alter my set up. That's the reason for the other scale I will use scale two for general weighing of stuff.
Scale one is dedicated to the target master.
I rate the Hornady scale highly unfortunately they don't make this beam scale any more they have gone digital. I have tried unsuccessfully for six month to find a decent second hand one with out any joy. So I have had to settle for the RCBS 505.

Hmmm. I have spent a lot of money this month on gun stuff. Think it will have to wait. Sorry wish I had known a week ago.

I have recently invested in a bit of Le Wilson stuff. Using the Wilson Dies etc and a arbor press I can sit at my computer desk three screens to many computers and re load at the same time.
Paying close attention to the re loading I might add. As I said before I did not want to disturb my Hornady beam scale set up with the target master trickler.
So I bought a RCBS 505.
I set it up zeroed it and went to work I set my RCBS powder measure to drop 41grains of N140. After 30 minutes I was ready to tear my hair out. I do not like the RCBS 505 scale it is pap compared to the Hornady. The 505 is on ebay good riddance. I will never re load again with out the target master and the Hornady scale.

The tuned 10-10 on the other forum night be worth considering, I use one with my TM with absolutely no problems.
