ok so i have a scale you know one of those ones with the little ball you slide and then it has something else for even smaller weights now where do i put all of that when i am trying to re load .223 or .556 or are they the same? and if they are then where do i put it at?

again help

Ok help me help you! lol

are you trying to Zero it out to get a good measurement?

lol nope i am just trying to figure out where to set it to lol

But if I am understanding your quetion correctly

The Ball is for the amount of weight you are trying to weight say for instance you want to measure out 55gr projectile with h-varget(powder) at the minimum load of 25.5grs

you would place the Ball poise to the 20 postion and the grain poise to the 5.5 postion that will give you 25.5grs or say you wanted 30.0grs then place the Ball Poise to the 30 position and Zero the Grain Poise and depending on the Scale Lee's the full Grain window is at the bottom the .1 grains scale is on the top. so to get 5.5 you will be between 5 & 6 on the lower veiwing grains window.

omg i am starting to think that i am just not ment to do this lol my head hurts

Thats why they invented digital. I tried out a friends balance beam and wow, what a chore.

yeah I have the digital works alot better I got the hornady gs1500 works great for what I do. i onlt use it for Rifle loads not pistol I have the auto disk for that!

I believe that the new Reloading section has been christened with its first troll.

Mash, the bar scale is pretty easy, just tedious. You can't load 5.56 because you can't make a NATO spec'd round. So, you will be loading an identical version in .223. What powder are you using?

Hopefully you figure this out before you actually load any rounds or it might be more than your head that ends up hurting

i am have Vargent? (spelling unsure) and justin and i talked last night on the phone and he walked me through it and what i have decided is yup i need a dig scale with a trickler

Mash man, in all seriousness and meant to be helpful: your original post in this thread makes absolutely no sense, so it scares the hell out of me that you're about to reload ammo. Seriously, PLEASE be careful. Double-check all of your data, and ask questions as needed, before you fire anything.

"Where do I put it for .223" is an impossible question to answer. It depends on what powder you are using and what bullet weight you have, for starters.

yup that is why there is no way in hell i am going to do it until someone can show me the right way to do it lol
