The Lyman Scale Brass Smith 500 (Model: LY-BS500) is a high-precision mechanical balance beam scale engineered specifically for meticulous ammunition reloading. Built to deliver exceptional accuracy without the need for electrical power, this scale is a reliable addition to any Australian reloading bench. Its robust construction and mechanical design ensure consistent performance, free from the calibration drift often associated with digital scales. Because it operates entirely mechanically, it requires no 240V power, Australian plug types, or SAA/RCM electrical certifications, making it ready for immediate use in any workshop or reloading setup across Australia.

Key Features:

  • Extra Large Levelling Wheel: Designed to facilitate quick and precise levelling on any flat reloading bench surface, ensuring highly accurate measurements.
  • Dual Agate Bearings: Features precision-ground dual agate bearings that minimise friction, resulting in smooth beam movement and high sensitivity.
  • Large Magnetic Dampener: Helps the scale pan settle rapidly, allowing the user to zero the scale in seconds and complete weighing tasks efficiently.
  • Sturdy Aluminium Body: Constructed with a heavy-duty aluminium housing that provides a stable, rigid foundation to maintain calibration and resist wear.
  • High Measurement Accuracy: Calibrated to measure within plus or minus 1/10 grain, providing the exact tolerances required for safe and consistent handloading.

Who It's For:

The Lyman Scale Brass Smith 500 is designed for Australian target shooters, hunters, and reloading enthusiasts who demand absolute precision when preparing custom ammunition. It is particularly suited for reloaders who prefer the reliability of a traditional mechanical scale over electronic models, avoiding issues related to battery drain, electrical interference, or fluctuating digital displays. Whether you are measuring precise powder charges for long-range competitive shooting, verifying bullet weight consistency, or sorting brass cases by weight, this scale provides the repeatable accuracy necessary for safe and successful reloading.
