[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 472470, member: 25383"] I used to use an RCBS 505, and then came into a new Ohaus 304. The difference was amazing. This was the same scale we used at work to manufacture "bob weights" for balancers. Later we went to an electronic scale setup that was very expensive due to an error that was built into the 304 scales (not enough for us to ever worry about). But the downside was the same as the 304 in that it wants to be in a clean enviorment. We later bought two of them as it seemed that we were always needing two scales at the sametime. About that sametime I bought a Pact, and brought it in to do a compairison. The $10K scale appeared to have a slightly different reading, but the difference was less than .01 of a grain. So I take it down to the calibration room to see how it compaired with what they were using. (it was owned by TACOM, and was considered to be the master everything came off of). The Pact ended up being closer to the master than what were were using. Their boss asked how many thousand dollars the thing cost? They cried! My boss orders in a half dozen of them. They're still using those six scales eleven years later. Mine was stolen, and I replaced it with another one just like it, but with the inferred port. Still going just fine. Later I picked up a BBK from Pact and it is a nice little scale (I like the other better). While all this was going on I got rid of the 304, and just never looked back. But I will buy the powder despinser one of these days to finish the whole system out. Now some folks have complaigned about flouresent lights bothering them, but I have never seen this and my house is full of them.
