[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1288584, member: 77249"] In Feb. 1966 I bought a Lyman 505 made by Ohaus when I bought my RCBS Jr. 2 press. It has served me well over the years. I added a RCBS 1010 about 20 years ago and I now use it the most. One time my Lyman got a little out of whack and would hesitate at 2 lines low of 0 then jump. I checked the knife edges on the beam pivot and one had a little flat place on it. ( 2 sons and a wife/bitch in the house who messed with stuff while I was at work) A little fine stone work and it came back to itself. I have had a couple friends bring me scales that were jumpy. Check the contact V's and clean them and hone the knife edges a little and they ran true again. I have a powder measure I use for pistol loading. For all my rifle loads I have a group of powder measures made from rifle cases with soldered wire and wood handles that dip about 1 gr. low. Powder trickle to 0. I even still use a Herter's powder funnel, guess I am just getting old. [/QUOTE]
