I realize that I am asking a very opened question.....sort of like which is your favorite salsa !! Way in the past when I was reloading I used a beam scale as my only scale. I have procured a decent digital scale and am looking to buy a beam scale as a way to double check the digital. I picked up an RCBS 5-0-5 off GB and it arrived with the beam bent !! It goes back today. From my research it appears that there are no really good beam scales available as "new" that are made in the USA. I am really tired of supporting the Chinese ! Do any of you know of a decent beam scale made in the USA ? Suggestions on what older scales you like ? Got one for sale ?? As always thanks !!
