The Lyman 7752225 Brass Smith 500 Metal Reloading Scale delivers precise powder measurements essential for consistent ammunition performance. This mechanical beam scale eliminates the need for batteries or electronic components that can fail during critical reloading sessions. Built with all-metal construction, it provides the reliability serious handloaders demand for accurate charge weights.
What Makes This Different
Unlike digital scales that drift with temperature changes or require frequent calibration, this mechanical beam scale maintains accuracy through pure physics. The 500-grain capacity handles everything from light pistol charges to heavy rifle loads. Magnetic dampening reduces beam oscillation for faster readings compared to standard beam scales without dampening systems.
Key Features
- 500-grain maximum capacity covers all standard cartridge loading requirements
- All-metal construction with precision-machined beam and pivot points
- Magnetic dampening system for quick, stable readings
- Self-aligning agate bearings ensure consistent accuracy over time
- Included powder pan with convenient pouring spout
- Adjustable leveling feet compensate for uneven surfaces
- No batteries or power source required for operation
This scale performs consistently across temperature ranges that affect electronic models. Competition shooters rely on mechanical scales for match-grade ammunition where tenth-grain variations matter. The robust construction handles the demands of high-volume loading sessions without degradation in accuracy. Hunters appreciate the reliability when loading precision rounds for long-range shots where powder consistency directly impacts trajectory.
