As you may already know, I only work on two poise beams. Why? You might ask.
Each poise is a potential source of error. I’d rather have two sources of error than three.
I prefer Ohaus and Redding scales to RCBS. This is largely due to the physics of the beams. RCBS 5-10 and 10-10 beams are quite heavy, their fulcrums located far towards the right end and have that ridiculous poise drum to adjust for tenths. The physics of these are not favorable for high sensitivity.
You may have noticed that I recommend different scales for different applications.
If you are loading for pistol and rifle, an Ohaus D5 or M5 is the way to go.
If you only load for rifle, a Redding can’t be beat for sensitivity.
