The RCBS M1000 Mechanical Scale, multi-caliber, 1000 grain capacity (RCBS part no. 98916) gives handloaders a full 1,000-grain weighing range at plus-or-minus 0.1 grain accuracy, without batteries or electronics to fail at the bench. Magnetic damping settles the beam quickly for faster readings than an undamped balance scale, and the maintenance-free movement is built to hold calibration through years of use. The scale supports right- or left-handed operation, and a metal tip-proof pan keeps powder charges from spilling during loading, from RCBS‘s powder measures & scales lineup.
