[QUOTE="Flintlock, post: 1719432, member: 6546"] About two weeks back I was moving things around on my loading bench and knocked my 10-10 off and broke the main base/frame. I almost passed out. Had it for at least 25 years. With them not being made anymore I started a search. Found a bunch on Ebay and started the bidding. They are going in excess of $100 on the bidding. Found a OHAUS, which makes the RCBS scales, looks the same except tan and all parts interchange and finally struck a deal on it. The 10-10 is the best scale I have used. I used the 5-10 for a few years and found the 10-10 for a good deal. Both work great. I check my scales against a digital I have several times during a run while reloading and it is always on. I really never needed anything over 500 grains until I started loading for my Sharps and I check my cast bullets in 550 grain on it after lubing. I don't think you can go wrong with either. The 5-10 is much less cash and easier to find. I have compared it to the 500 grain Lyman my buddy uses and they are accurate to within a kernel or two of powder. You can't go wrong with any of them. Good luck Mike [/QUOTE]
