The Lee scale is surprisingly accurate - just make sure you level & zero it before use & it's good to go.
If you're using stick type powders, then rotating drum type powder dispensers are noted for problems with them.
Before I bought the RCBS Chargemaster combo, I used to set my Uniflow to throw rifle charges a little short of the desired weight & then trickle them up on the scale.

Gidday pommy. Welcome to HuntingNut mate. Pull up a stump, grab a XXXX and sit awhile.

What part of Qld are you in mate? If you are nearby Brisbane I recommend a trip to either QGE or Rebel Gunworks in Wooloongabba. The guys there will set you straight with a decent scale.

When you say "powder measure", do you mean the little powder dippers that LEE usually provide? If so, I have never found them to be very accurate, mainly because each powder is slightly different in its granule size.

I have a Redding Powder Throw and a Redding Beam scale as well as a small electronic scale. I set my powder throw to throw light then finish it off with a powder trickler on the electronic scale, although the beam scale is more precise.

Give me a yell if I can help in any way.

Cheers, Vince

Your on track buying it all at once ,,, I've used rcbs equipment for 35 yrs now and can't say a bad thing about it .Also buying it all at once there is a good chance a gunshop will work with u on the price some.

I have used rcbs now for 33yrs and have never had a problem ,,, and your doing the right thing reloading you'll end up with taylored loads your guns thrive on so you will miss less and have fun in the process.No 2 guns will shoot the same load as well at the bench.
