[QUOTE="scottb42, post: 2991839, member: 27603"] Reviews are useful up to a point, but it seems to me that somebody who is unhappy with a product is much more likely to leave a review than someone who is satisfied with it. Dennis has a good recommendation, the RCBS beam scales are really nice. I rocked an RCBS 502 for years, but advancing age finally caught up with my eyeballs and I can't see the fricken divisions on the beam any more. Rather than risk setting the weight incorrectly and potentially being off by 5 or 10 grains of powder, I bought an RCBS 505 which has MUCH wider and easier to read weight markings. Sadly RCBS has discontinued the 505, and I have no firsthand knowledge of how well their current lineup works. The 505 is still available if you look, but strike quickly if you want to go that direction since the retailers probably aren't going to get any more. Here's one that allegedly still has a couple: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/RCBS-Model-505-Reloading-Scale/dp/B001AYWXEQ[/URL] Don't know if $89 is too much for a cheap bastidge though. :D [/QUOTE]
