    RCBS 5-0-5 Scales. Opinions

    RCBS 5-0-5 Scales. Looking at buying a set.

    Just looking for opinions from users.

    Accurate?
    Reliable?
    Value?

    Greetings,
    I have some Ohuas 5-0-5 scales which I think are the same as RCBS. They have been here for around 50 years and still agree with my RCBS 1500 scales.

    Good scales...you be able to sort out Smokey's guestimate amounts of powder too easy
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    They are for sale, cheap, but i have discovered they don't have the original pan. Plastic. So, not interested now, I have a redding #2 . At $50aud posted. Good buy for someone starting out.

    Nothing wrong with basic Lee balance beam scales either...
