RCBS scale

[L.Sherm]

Well my 1500 scale took a crap may have got a surge i dont know worked fine last time I used it but now won't dispense acts like its having a zero problem anybody know if you can buy just the scale?
I had Lone MTN Communicatios work on the thing about 5 years ago think ill call them too.

I went ahead and sent it off to Lone Mtn Communications.

I moved to a FX-120 and v4 Auto trickler and never looked back. I keep a beam scale in case the power goes out, but after using the v4 AT, I'll never go back to a cheaper scale/powder dispenser.

Life is too short, and time too valuable.

I'm retired now so I have alot of time on my hands in the winter.
I've been using the 1500 to throw charges and my TRX-925 to final weigh for quite awhile now.
I throw alot of 2200 on my small Harrels its pretty consistent then final trickle I can load 100 rounds after brass is prepped and primed pretty quick.

Lone Mtn is sending it back the board was bad so they had to put a new one in it.

I started with a Lee then bought a Ohaus RCBS 1010 I used it a few times and is still like nib, that's because I lucked onto a Ohaus 1010 set.
I preferred the Ohaus scale as it had a scale either side of the "0" which the RCBS set didn't have.
I also got Scott Parker to tune the Ohaus set

All three of my electronic powder measures died now I am back to my old rcbs uniflows all six are working great, and seems to be quicker than the electronics.

Same here, prefer the Ohaus because of the better graduations. What is this Scott Parker tune you talk of please ?

Hi Pete, I sent them to Scott Parker and he tunes scales to be very accurate and super responsive. When he ships them back they come with a bullet with the true weight of it to use as a check weight.

Hi Kiwi,
How is life treating you ? Might be over later this year, so keep the beer cold
Have been doing a bit of research on this Scott Parker scale tuning and have come to the realization that I cannot shoot as accurately as it will throw powder. Not to mention trying to get it out and then back into Auscommystan. Getting that trigger to your friend in Washington took 6 to 8 weeks just to get permission to send it.

Hey mate hope your doing OK in Auscommystan, will you be limited to 4 or 10 firearms or are you in Queensland?
I still throw powder out of my hybrid powder measure and seem to do OK but it is nice to have a set of accurate scales that can confirm other scales are correct or not correct.
While I want a set of accurate scales the scales I use at a match are a set of Hornady GS350, I've never checked them but do use them to set my powder measure and adjust for powder volume drift.
I'll keep a few stubbies of Speights in the fridge for you, it will be great to see you again.

Am doing well for now. As Baldric used to say "I have a cunning plan" which I won't divulge on this internet thingy. Will send an email rather than bother all the great people on this site with what is happening here.
I am using a Hornady G3 - 1500 Pocket Scale for range use. I find it sort of OK. Does wander a bit. But for loading everything else apart from the 6mm PPC I use the Ohaus 10/10 scale. It just works.
Be good
Pete
