Not only for speed, but accuracy as well...if a person is not cash strapped...do you recommend a RCBS digital scale/powder throw combination?


It would depend on what you're loading. Pistol rounds don't require nearly that much precision.

When I load my hunting rounds, I use my RCBS Uniflow and then use a powder trickler to get it just right.

EDIT: Just noticed you said "not strapped for cash." I thought you meant a budget method... woops.

Well my dad uses a Lyman powder measurer. I'm not sure of the exact model but it does all the work. Simply type in a number and let it roll. It measures it down to the 100th of a grain.

Is powder still in short supply? I haven't had to buy it in a while.

Also, I recommend starting with pistol, reloading for a auto rifle is a beast.

Yeah I have a green light to spend on any hobbies. I mean I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, and I don't chase women...

Hobbies is all I do...from computer gaming to electronics and plastic models....Reloading is a new hobby that I can spend money on without any repercussions from the wife...Not to mention, I pay the bills!
