Flea market find
It's not much but I found this Lee powder measure and scale today, never used. I got both for $15. I just missed the priming tool she had.
Are they decent? (i don't know much about reloading)
Thanks

decent basic tools, you will upgrade, but O.K. for 15 bucks.
They'll get you started.

Yes, they are decent. you got a great price on them. The powder measure I haven't used, but I've read good things about it. the scale is accurate, simple to use, and slow and cumbersome. If you use the scale to set up your measure and to check the measure periodically for accuracy, it is fine. If you're one of these people that weigh every load, you will get tired of using that scale.
I fall in the former group. I weigh a half dozen charges or so after setting the measure to ensure the measure is throwing what I want. Once I'm confident the measure is adjusted properly, I weigh maybe every 50th load or so to ensure that the measure hasn't come out of adjustment.

I've been using that same powder measure for about 14 years without issue. Meters Unique close enough for Government Work. Congrats on the great deal.

I've been using the same equipment for over 12 years. Works well for me.

I've been using that powder measure for 10 plus years now, I love it. Great for throwing rifle charges, I usually have it thrown .5 grain under and trickle it to the correct weight. The scale works, but it isnt the best, I keep mine for a backup.
