[QUOTE="Wiley, post: 5881711, member: 15835"] Ever since my electronic scale went a little wonky with me I have reverted back to a beam scale, at least as a backup if not primary scale. That scale was my RCBS 505 that I've had for a long time. Recently I bought an Ohaus 1010 on eBay and began using it and the other day it's repeatability came into question while loading some .223. It began an unpredictable return to zero or wherever other than zero that it decided on. After close inspection I see that the knife edges of the beam pivot have been "worked" and not evenly. That's a problem and THE problem. So, I went-a-lookin again. I've known for a good while that a Lyman M5 is arguably the best scale out there for a feller loading ammo. After many searches and researching a ton of articles/outlets I have been in contact with Scott Parker who is widely known as THE beam scale guru when it comes to fine tuning and calibrating the best powder scales on a level that only a couple of other individuals claim to be capable of doing. Lo-and-behold he has Lyman M5 scales ready for purchase and I'm a willing customer. Can't wait for it to get here! [/QUOTE]
