So I was bored last night and decided to break out a few of my balance scales I have acquired over the years.
They were and RCBS 1010 and 510, Redding 1,2 and oil damped. That is 5 scales.
I used the weight from the 1010 which is 250 grains when used as a check weight. Some of the Reddings only went to 350 gr.
Long story short.. All the scales were right on and repeatable time after time. If your eyes are good I think the reddings are faster to adjust the weight on but you can lock the weight on the RCBS models. Not bad considering I am pretty sure 2 of the Reddings were a lot older than me.
As to speed. The Reddings were fairly slow to settle down. The 510 was a little better. Then I tried the 1010.
The 1010 was far and away the fastest scale to use. One bounce then right to the line. The 1010 is the scale I use day to day. And now I remember why. I usually keep the 510 out to double check things once in a while.
I don't own a digital scale so I could not throw one of them into the mix.
