Hunting reloading scales
That would be a great gift. You should get a scale that is specifically aimed at reloaders - that is, one that is set up to weigh in grains. It only needs to be precise to 0.1 grains. Anything "lab grade" is overkill for reloading.
You can choose to go with a balance beam scale like these:
RCBS
Hornady
​
There are also digital scales that are cheaper and easier to use, but less durable and lack the character of a balance beam scale:
Frankford Arsenal
​
The RCBS scale is good
a RCBS 505 scale off ebay is good
There are many electronic reloading scales available. They are faster and easier to use than balance beam scales. The cheaper scales tend to have wandering zero, and must be frequently re-zeroed. The better scales hold their zero better, but are pricey.
For fine pistol powders the lee measure must be disassembled and cleaned, lubed with graphite, and have the tension screw tightened. If that doesn't work, contact lee for a new drum. If that dosen't work, buy a RCBS measure off ebay.
