Hello,
I've got a brand new RCBS 505 scale that came as part of the Rock Chucker kit for sale, i'm not a fan of the beam type so bought a charge master.

I took this out of the box and had a quick play with it before deciding i didn't like it! It's less than a week old.

Say £60 posted?

Everyone should have a beam balance, even if it sits at the back of the cupboard.

When your Chargemaster goes 'phut' and the repair/replacement will take 3 weeks, or you have a power cut, or you have to load at a range that doesn't have power, or you don't have the luggage capacity to take the CM - you might regret having sold the 505.

But if you decide to go ahead - good luck with the sale!

I did think that, but have been told by a friend that the 1010 scale is a little 'easier' to work with, so figured i'd sell this one and buy that instead!

Electronic things do seem to have a habit of breaking around me
