[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2174132, member: 71817"] 12 years ago my RCBS 5-10 got pushed off the side of my bench wrecking it. I immediately found 5-10 scales on Craig's list and Ebay. I went with a Craig's List posting and when I got to the address I found a recent widow selling off her husband's reloading stuff. She had two 5-10 scales and wanted $50 each. I brought a set of check weights with me and the scales were perfect and had boxes and covers. She also had Uniflow powder measures with micrometer adjustments, Primers, Powder, and a stockpile of Nosler & Berger Bullets. She also had a stockpile of 12ga shotgun hulls, wads, primers and powder and a MEC600 loader. To get to the point I went for a scale and bought two, I ended up giving her a deposit for all of it and came back the next day with $2300 cash. She also had a Browning BT-99 in that mix for $800. Some of the stuff I never used but was good trade fodder at the range. Back to scales. I've since got a Rangemaster lite and am happy with it but I still find myself checking chargeweights with the Beam Balance. Just old school I guess. [/QUOTE]
