Saw one that was basically a Rectangular plastic Milk crate for the bench in the back of the truck. Gear goes in crate for travel. Piece of plywood that fits in the crate comes out for the top. Beam scale sits on top, along with small level. Table levelers to level the crate. Lightweight Lee or...
For your scale, I would recommend getting a weight check set. It’s either accurate or it’s not, and that’s how you know. When I adjust my weight say from 40gr to 70gr on my RCBS beam scale, I calibrate it with the weights because it can be off a little bit. I get a throw that is close, but...
I don’t think it’s many, some do, but I’d say many you can get at least 5k, which is the minimum that I think makes it tolerable. Shipping and hazmat is tough. I think tax should be a wash if you are somewhere with sales tax. I know some guys who have a LGS circuit they do a couple times a...

I would stick that away somewhere. It’s collector condition right now. It’s good quality, but it is probably worth more nib with a rifle of the same vintage.
One possible reason book being 10% less than SAAMI max is so that if a batch of powder runs hotter than what they tested with, the load is at max and not 10% over max.
I think the start low and work up is a good safety measure. I think there is flexibility in what the work up looks like after the start low, depending on what those first shots look like.
RCBS says it’s “incredibly durable”. As long as the COAL fits and you lube the cases properly it should be ok, it should be fine. It’s got a 4” window so the 340 with 3.7 COAL should be fine. If you are trying to bump the shoulder down or you have a fat chamber and cases require excessive...
I built the 165ABLR bullet in QL, and what @35WhelenAI tracks. I compared propellant table for the 165 to the Berger 170 EOL which is in QL already, and it is pretty close, ~0.5gr on most of the powders I spot checked, and the ones you have listed. I think you'll get well over 2,700fps and...
