Anyone still use one of these??

I still do initial checks and sets with a Lyman beam. Its been on the same leveled shelf for 30+ years under a homemade cardstock dust cover. I uncover, check the -0- and go to work.
Have an older model Belding & Mull and a somewhat cheapened newer version, among another 1/2 doz various types from Herters to my fav Reddings, one each for pistol size charges and larger rifle. Also have a couple homemade 'slide type' measures. I should make a display shelf.
Used to wish I had kept my monster old Herters press until I bought a Rock Chucker cheap at a gun show.
Old guy with old stuff, I guess, and I cant trust digitals that take bats......

Have an RCBS (gift to me from an estate) and a Pacific. Neither with a wood base, but both accurate. Never owned or used an electronic scale.

I would definitely use one if I had one. What I do use is an old Lyman Ohas beam scale. It works for me and I trust it, but yours looks like the bees knees.

I've got an RCBS 304 scale, says "Manuf. by Ohas " on the label..don't think they make them anymore.
Mine was a Christmas present from Mom & Dad, about 35+ yrs.ago.. for an upgrade from the RCBS 5-10 scale I'd used since I started hand loading.
Funny, that the 5-10 scale gave the same weights as the newer, more expensive 304 scale... but the 304 has a neat dial, for dialing in the exact weight.

I use an RCBS, two beams plus a rotating vernier weight for fine tuning, to check the charges being thrown by my measures, or to creep up on a charge if I'm loading for rifle near maximum or for accuracy. I suppose I should get a modern electronic one, but I haven't bothered so far.

Old Beam lyman Guy here also with several digital scales.

Single beam RCBS for everything. Keeping it simple helps me to be consistant.

That's definitely a question for Walter White.

I use a beam scale. The same O'Haus I've used for 1/2 a century. Used it just tonight. It still works great.

I have, I used to work on his house and property in Cali. Was about a 15 minute drive from my house. Then he went to Reno and everything changed. He looked spectacular in his African commo suit. He was a great guy.
