Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is my first beam scale for reloading. The newer 5 0 5's are lighter, which is certainly so for cost cutting. It’s more accurate than the digital scale i have used for years.

The scale is very sensitive and the base feels sturdy. Once set up it measures consistently and as long as it's maintained well, it is a breeze to use. I was impressed with the scale purchase from beginning to end.



Cons

The "self aligning agate bearings" are two pieces of plastic with a rough v grove cut into them, sitting (jammed) into poorly machined slots. The damper vane is sloppily glued onto the beam. The scale appears to have never been zeroed at factory.

Quality


I was impressed with the scale purchase from beginning to end.

Whereas the ohaus main beam is in 10gr increment with the minor beam has two riders the first in 1gr increments and the second in 0.

Price


Would be much better if it was physically twice the size but then the price would probably double as well.


The newer 5 0 5's are lighter, which is certainly so for cost cutting.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness


Great scale, like it better than rcbs


Gets the thumbs up and it's better than the rcbs m500 that i gave up on.


Tried a rcbs but the pointer is more difficult to read and the main beam scale is in 5gr increments with the minor rider 0.


Tested it out and it's just as good as my old rcbs 10-10 and my rcbs 5-0-5.

    Once leveled it can be read to within 0

    Roughly 15 seconds per load leveling out

    Seems like a design flaw to have the scale support by a tiny contact point

    Ok price but deducting 1 star because of the design

    I knew ordering this it was chinesemade but when it arrived i became a little suspicious because of some of the packaging and labeling so i checked with ohaus customer service to make sure this wasnt counterfeit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    At first i didnt believe this was the real deal


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The bad news is that the white paint on the base looks like it was sprayed on in the dark and the gramgrain conversion sticker looks like it was thrown on from a distance
