The Redding Model No. 2 Powder & projectile Scale delivers exceptional precision and laboratory-grade sensitivity for competition and handloading applications. Engineered with a magnetically dampened beam, hardened knife edges, and precision stainless steel seats, this scale ensures swift, stable settling and long-term durability without relying on electronics.

Featuring a 505-grain capacity with 1/10-grain accuracy, this mechanical scale utilizes a simple two-counterpoise system and clear over/under graduations. The convenient pour-spout pan and dedicated zero-adjustment knob make measuring and trickling individual powder charges both seamless and highly repeatable.

  • FAST, STABLE READINGS: A magnetically dampened beam provides quick settling for faster measurements, while hardened knife edges ride in precision stainless steel seats that maintain alignment and long-term durability.
  • LABORATORY-LEVEL SENSITIVITY: The pour-spout pan and flat platform combine the convenience of an electronic scale with the fine sensitivity of a laboratory beam design, allowing for the detection of tiny powder changes.
  • BUILT FOR PRECISION LOADING: The scale features a 505-grain capacity, 1/10-grain accuracy, over/under graduations, and a simple two-counterpoise system, making it ideal for precise charge adjustments and dependable weighing.
  • MECHANICAL SYSTEM: Designed with a fully mechanical system, this scale offers long-lasting reliability without electronics, ensuring accurate performance.

How to use

Place the scale on a flat, level surface away from drafts. Set the empty pan on the hanger, place both poises at zero, and turn the base adjustment knob until the pointer aligns with zero. Set your desired target weight using the large and small poises, pour powder into the spout pan until near balance, and trickle final granules until the beam rests precisely at zero.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity and accuracy of this scale?

The scale features a 505-grain weighing capacity with an accuracy rating of 1/10 grain.

Does this scale require batteries or electrical power?

No, it is a fully mechanical beam scale that operates without any electronics or external power.

How does the beam achieve fast and stable readings?

It utilizes magnetic dampening to quickly settle the beam alongside precision hardened knife edges that ride in stainless steel seats.

How do you calibrate or zero the scale?

With the empty pan on the beam and both poises set to zero, rotate the leveling adjustment knob on the base until the pointer aligns with the zero indicator mark.
