I have a Dillon H66-13480 beam scale that I'm loosing confidence in it's accuracy. Is a Ohaus 10-10 a good scale

I like 10-10s

Ohaus has a long and illustrious history, beginning in 1907 as a scale repair business. First incorporated in 1914 as the Newark Scale Works. They went on to innovate and produce the world's best scales. 1947 saw them incorporate as the Ohaus Scale Corporation.

In 1963, they produced the world's first magnetic dampening mechanism for their reloading products, providing for faster results. In 1973, they sponsored the first SuperShot competition. In 1988, they consolidated all their scale manufacturing under one name: Ohaus.

Do you trust the weight stamped on your packaged meat that you get from your local butcher? They were, almost without exception, weighed upon electronic scales produced by Ohaus. The leader in electronic weighing since 1979.

Go to almost any primary or secondary school, and you will find that the triple beam scales used most often, are made by Ohaus.

Nearly all scales produced for the reloading community, regardless of name, were manufactured (if not designed) by Ohaus.

The 10-10 is no exception.

Why are you losing confidence in your old scale?

Apparently a one post wonder!

I would just call Dillon and tell them. They will check it and fix/replace as needed.

Ladies & Gents,
Thanks for the comments, As I load in the garage I noticed a black wasp of some type had built a small mud nest on the back side of the beam.

Jerry, I bought my Ohaus scale as a Lyman M-5 in mid '65, basically the same tool as the current RCBS 1010. It's as dead on accurate and sensitive today as it was when I pulled out of the box. Actually, I think that's equally true of any beam scale. I've never used the expanded scale (over 500 grains) for reloading work.

I'll throw mud in the pool and say I like the RCBS Rangemaster 750. It's small, cheap, easy to calibrate and does the job for me. It stays on forever. I like that...

That would make those bees KILLER BEES!
