Love it. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group WORKED for their money but the other group didn't.

I use an RCBS 5-0-5. Just me, but then I am old- school in a lot of ways. Sorry to give you a non-answer on a digital. Last edited by lastround; 12/30/13. If we live long enough, we all have regrets.

Sorting cast bullets by weight is a LOT faster and more precise with a digital scale than with the balance beam type. That said, I use an old RCBS 10/10 scale for weighing out all of my powder charges.

If you only want a digital scale, I highly recommend the Winstead-Peters model sold by Berry's Mfg. Simply superb. LINK Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

RCBS CM is a darn fine scale. My 1010 and Dillon are gathering dust in the garage since adding a CM to my loading room years back.
