RCBS 10-10 calibration

[jungle_re]

Is there anyway to calibrate theses scales?

The instructions says to use the levelling foot to do this but I run out of thread and the bugger is canted up at quite an angle. I can dial in with the unit levelled with a spirt level and when all looking good it is 1.6 grains out. Obviously it is functional as I can level it with a spirit level each time ( though if I have to do this ill glue on a bubble vial) and the tune with the micro adjustment till it reads zero and add the figure to the weight in grains I'm aiming for. I would however rather be able to adjust the scale to read zero with a minor levelling with the foot. Any information to how this can be done greatly received.

Sounds like there is something wrong with it. Has it got the correct pan? You should be able to remove some weight lead from the pan holder if you need to, alternatively send it to 1066 for a service, more precise pointer mod and webcam bracket.

Ahh okay, am I right in thinking this is the same guy who makes and sells the targetmaster?

Will drop him a line.

Had a minor can't problem on mine that could not adjust out so altered ballast under the scales to the zero point with adjusters at about 50% on a level surface . Runs fine now . There was a write up on another forum about it but can't remember where sorry

Hi Will - Sorting this out shouldn't be a problem but there must be a reason why your scale had lost zero. As John say's, a different pan could be the problem.

 

Here's a short video I made to help a chap zero his 10/10's - He sent it to me for repair from South Africa but forgot to include the pan.

 

This might help.

As already mentioned, get them serviced with 1066. the guys a whizz with these scales.

 

Highly recommeded

Cannot recommend Allan enough. Bought a targetmaster off him a few months ago. A great product which makes my loading so much easier with the extruded powder I use - h4895. An absolute gentleman to deal with.
