[QUOTE="308stillbrass, post: 1719874, member: 109919"] Don't think the 5-10 or 10-10 would be any more accurate than the 5-0-5 but I do prefer the rotary dial poise than the movable poise system. I've had a 5-10 for many years and it's a good scale. Still I prefer my Pact Precision electronic. I have the GemPro 250 also but for weighing every powder charge the Pact is faster. I compared weights with my RCBS 5-10 versus the Pact and they are identical. Compared the Pact and if I trickle up slowly until the number just changes they are the same on the GemPro. All so close and within 1/10th grain or less in comparison. I'd recommend the 5-10 or 10-10 over the 5-0-5 just because of the dial poise or the 10-10 if you need the ability to weigh heavier items. My 5-10 has set in a drawer most of the time since having electronic scales. Need a good Scale Check Weight Set to get confidence with any scale whether balance or electronic. On my GemPro 250 it's surprising that my Lyman check weights are all except the 50 grain weight very close or exactly the weight they are supposed to be.
