Ostrem specifically mentions using his scale to monitor a progressive press for potential squib loads, emphasizing its importance in ensuring safe and accurate reloads. The video implicitly endorses the Hornady M2 Bench Scale and G3-1500 Pocket Scale but stresses that any scale reading in grains is beneficial.
