I had purchased a Lee Anniversary kit and had heard that it had everything (or nearly everything) needed to get started reloading. The kit comes with a balance beam scale and Lee's Perfect Powder measure. I bought Lee dies and the Lee dies come with dippers for the most common charging volume for the caliber. I just can't seem to put any trust in the Perfect Powder measure -- it looks and feels too cheap. The instructions for use of the plastic micrometer also don't quite seem to work with the unit that I have. At this point, I've decided to not use it because I don't have any faith in it. So, I recently tried to use the balance beam scale. It's appears to be a fine product and I can work it, but it appears that using it for reloading is far too slow and cumbersome.
Now I'm thinking about simply using the Lee dippers and not fooling with a scale. I don't plan to tweak any loads, as I just shoot at paper targets for stress relief (for the fun of shooting). Would I have any need for the scale at all if I stick with the dippers and I develop a consistent dipping method?
