    Default RCBS 505 beam scale on sale at Midway

    I shared this in the deals thread too, but it seems like such a great deal, I wanted to make sure the reloaders here saw it.

    $39.99 at Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/758...ale-_-20161012

    I bought this little scale to supplement my digital scale when I doubt the readings I'm getting. The RCBS 505 has taught me that the digital is faster but loses accuracy when trickling the charges.

    If anyone is on the fence this is a great scale. Very accurate / repeatable and all I have used for the last 20 years. Probably paid more 20 years ago too.

    Every reloader needs a good scale. Started with a Lee scale but quickly learned it was finicky and hard to get a repeatable measurement. If you have one throw it away and get the RCBS one for $13 more.
