So I picked up a pretty old Lyman powder scale, the pro 1000, new in box at a gunshow a few months back, now that my reloading room is done, I have been attempting to use it.
Problem is, everything weighs .3-.5 grains heavy on the scale. I have a lee scale, and a Lyman digital scale that will agree with another every time, but the Lyman beam never does. I have leveled the scale using the foot, cleaned the agate bearings, made sure the knife edges are sharp, and burnished them with some graphite, and cleaned the beam.
I don't have standards here, they are on the way. I borrowed standards and checked the digital and the lee, before I unpacked and realized the Lyman had an issue, and both were right on, as they have always been in the past.
Anyone have an idea of what's going on with it?
