I use an RCBS 10-10 that I like for general use, but I also have a PACT electronic scale that I use for weighing cast bullets, both are good.

I have an ancient RCBS 5-10, and a much newer RCBS 10-10 - both good scales.
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

I use a Lyman Digital scale. I am too lazy to want to set up the balance scale like a 10-10. There isn't anything better than the good balance scales as they are always zeroed when you start. I'm not so sure about the digital...

RCBS 5-0-5. Bought my first one back in the mid-70's and used it around 22-23 years. I'd still have it but it got knocked off the bench once or twice and bumped around in a few moves during that time so I finally replaced it with another 5-0-5 and have been using that one for about 16 years now. Trying to take better care of this one...

Seems like I cant get away from the RCBS balance scale. Maybe it's because I am into reloading for enjoyment, as well as performance.
The time factor is not that much difference, and the simplicity of a balance scale is dead on for accuracy and consistency.

RCBS 5-0-5 here. It just works.....
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Trying to take better care of this one... That's what I use as well. I also found another one in new condition for cheap so I bought it and have a spare. They are great scales. I've often thought about switching up to the 10-10, but why do that when the 5-0-5 has worked so well for this long..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

RCBS 5-0-5 that came with Rockchucker kit. No wear at all, but I am rather OCD about my stuff.

Older Hornady balance beam. Used to use a Lyman electronic dispenser/scale but now I weigh every load.

Dillon D-Terminator digital and RCBS Chargemaster. I am sure I have three or four beam scales, but I haven't used them since the '80s. can't imagine going back to watching the beam settle down...
