I have a friend who is setting up to start loading for the first time, as hobby. He is not a high volume shooter and does not compete in matches. Although like most reloaders, I image the volume will increase once the cost of shooting goes down due to loading his own.
His cartridges of most interest are 7.62 Russian (7.62 x 54 and 7.62 x 53). However he may obviously decide to do others once he gets going.
As stated, he probably won't be a super high volume shooter. He is getting set up with a Lee Classic Turret Press and will probably load using a single station at a time.
Anyhow he is trying to figure out what the best powder measure and scale would be for his needs, without spending an excessive amount of money. He is considering everything from the inexpensive stuff up to the Redding BR measure and Pact Scale/Electronic Measure combo.
Any thoughts on what might would be a good value to get him going in a new hobby without regrets later?
