pwinnall Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hello, I new to rifle reloading and need to buy some gear. I have been told the RCBS 10-10 are the best but are 505 ok for my needs? I will reload .260 rem for target shooting and stalking. Thanks for your advice.

1967spud Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 505 are ok but 10 -10 are the flag ship in the rcbs range and very accurate desirable scales, no better beam scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 In my opinion either would benefit from a tune up from 1066 on here - therefore go with the 505 and use the saved money for tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1066 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 In my opinion either would benefit from a tune up from 1066 on here - therefore go with the 505 and use the saved money for tuning. Thank you Grouse - And if you were thinking of going for the 505, which is an excellent choice anyway, then I would have a think about the Dillon Eliminator scale. It is identical to the 505 except for the colour and a different shaped base. It's also made by Ohaus and has the same 3 poise beam, knife edge and floating agate bearings, in fact the beams are interchangeable. The 10/10 is an excellent scale but no more accurate than an RCBS 502 - They both use exactly the same knife edge/agate bearing set-up. If you're interested in a Dillon, I can supply a new one, ready tuned, extended pointer, ball bearing leveller, weighted, 5 meg pix camera, camera bracket and fittings for the same price as a 505 HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Having used a tuned scale from Alan with his loadmaster trickler, I would say its an absolute must, and I would budget around a tuned scale and trickler.....even if you have to sell something..... The difference in a tuned scale is absolutely vast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbangwhallop Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm with baldie..... I've been using a tuned RCBS 5-10 and Targetmaster trickler from Allan since August and I'm well impressed. Got the bits sitting on a pair of £7.99 Argos marble/granite worktop savers with 4 hi-fi adjustable spikes drilled into the top one (After sitting in a drawer since the early 80's they've finally become of use!) The camera is connected to photobooth on the mac. The spirit level behind the trickler is a WWII Air Ministry 1943 unit.... seriously accurate. I've stuck strips on plastic with double-sided tape to the worktop to locate the scales and the photocell unit in the same position every time. The delicate bits all pack into a 8litre lidded box from Staples. Pact scales and trickler set for sale..... same as the RCBS pair.. different colour. atb Fizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
