I just did some experimenting. I shimmed the pan side of the scale until it zeroed. It took a 13/16 stack of paper. Paul thanks for the picture. It seemed strange to shim so much but it is probably not that much more than yours. I then marked and weighted three different bullets. I then...

Thanks. I am printing the instructions. If I move the micro adjustment to -.3 it balances at zero but the instructions say that is not an accurate adjustment. The mico adjustment seems to ride on a brass screw. I'm guessing moving that out away from the pointer would be the way to adjust it...

Thanks for the help. It sounds like this is not an unheard of problem to encounter. So I will give it a better cleaning and then try to shim it. I think I will take it to a friends house who has been reloading for 30+ yrs. He will have a couple of scales and check weights we can try.

Just picked up a used RCBS 1010 scale and I don't seen to be getting it to zero. I have read the instructions and the scale seems to be in good shape. I am new to reloading and am guessing operator error. When I set it up on a level surface I cannot get the scale to read Zero. I set...

I try to keep an eye on the sites. They are not expensive anyway. But winter nights at the hobby bench are quickly giving way to long evenings in the yard with the bow so I need to get something started. Thanks for all the help.

Erich that is good to know. I will go with the .357 and an extra dipper as well. I have thought of this for my BOB as well. Most of my shooting is with lots of free ammo so I don't need to reload much. The hand press and some dies for my 45 Colt 625 to start off with and a clasic loader for...

Thanks, that helps. So a .38 kit can be made to work for the .357 but not the other way around? I would be mostly using this to make a few rounds at a time and almost exclusivly .38 but it might be nice to make a few heavy magnum loads on occasion as well. I'm sure I will end up with a lee...

I am considering picking up a lee Loader (the type that you use a hammer with) to do a little tinkering, and learning. I am new to reloading and will, in time, get a full press but these kits look like a fun way to learn and to teach my kids about the basics of the rounds themselves as well as...

I am looking for a J frame and like the sights on the 340MP. However I am not interested in a revolver with an internal lock. I am considering one of the 442's coming out without the lock. What I was wondering is if the rear sight on the 340MP is different then the 442? Is it a deeper groove...
