Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

RCBS model 1010 vs Redding Model 2

ugh...after almost finishing a lengthy post on a scale comparison I just did, my browser crashed and wiped out all my text...Here is a condensed version. Compared a new Redding model 2 scale to a mid 80's RCBS 1010, using a penny and a 1 gram brass weight..
Each was weighed 5 times..each scale was zeroed before each sequence of 5 weighs. Ideally I would have zeroed between each individual weigh, but I didn't have the patience for that. weights listed are in grains.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...1E&output=html

For reference, a penny weighs 2.5 grams (39.4 grains). 1 gram = 15.4 grains.

The RCBS is older. I bought it back in 1985, so I am not too surprised by the fluctuations in weight I saw for the penny..

EDIT: Sorry, formatting is all screwed up...I'll try to come back and fix it later.
