Im in the market for a new balance scale. Preference for all metal construction over made in US of A. Perfect scale would be both, must be new. Largest cartrige I load is 30-06. So 100 grains is pleanty.
The Hornady scale is made in USA, but appears to have a plastic body...
Rcbs looks plastic, but made in China...
Lee, ugh, nope. Had one, thru it out.
Know of one that im over looking?
Redding or Lyman.

My lyman has a plastic body and has crumbled in the extreme temps of an uncoditioned space.
I have a used Lyman that is metal. Not new, but works well. I have it adjusted to use the Lyman combo pan/funnel. PM me if interested, hc18flyer
Hornady scale is made of aluminum in the US. The Redding #2 Master Balance Beam Mechanical Powder Scale is made of steel in USA.

I have an older RCBS 10-10 that’s not new, but in good used condition.
$125 shipped in the lower 48. PayPal friends and family preferred.
Aim low boys, there ridin shetlands
I have a couple of RCBS scales.
I have a few all metal scales.
Of course they are not new.
PM if interested.
I have an older RCBS 5-10 all metal I could spare. It has the same beam as the RCBS 10-10. PM me if you want more information.
I collect powder scales ... and I believe you would love an RCBS 304 Scale made by Oahus ....You would be ready for any caliber then...

He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

Go to Ebay, type in "reloading scales Used" : Get you an Ohaus 505 or an RCBS 10-10 made by the same. A real Gem and the final say. Circa 1970's.
