Ray I have had good luck with RCBS scales.Years ago I started out with the RCBS 505 scales, then moved up to the RCBS 10-10 scales and now love my electronic scales.The 10-10 scales seemed to be well made and had the magnets on each side of the balance beam to slow down the up and down motion of the balance beam. I usually set that scale up to double check my electronic scale.I am not saying that I don't have faith in the electronic scale but the theory I have always had about reloading is that you can never be too carefull. The electronic scale will get the weight of the powder down to the precise amount. Thats what I like when I load all my rifle loads including some 30-.06 rounds. If you go for an electronic scale also check out the PACT electronic scale, because if I am not badly mistaken their scale is identical to the RCBS scale and may even be cheaper. Good luck in your choice.
