Default Calibrating my Lyman Ohaus scale
Just new to reloading and wanted to know how you guys calibrate your scales. Picked up a nicely used Lyman Ohaus D5 from the 1960's in good shape but need to ask if you use a Lyman or RCBS weight set to make sure of the accuracy of your beam scale.

I do. As long as it is a certified weight it is good.
