RCBS Mechanical Scale M500 Product description

  1. Balance Scale Design: The RCBS Mechanical Scale M500 is a classic beam-style balance scale, renowned for its unwavering reliability. It operates entirely without the need for electricity, making it an excellent choice for reloaders seeking dependable accuracy regardless of power availability or location. This design provides direct, visual confirmation of powder charges, fostering confidence in every load.

  2. Precision Measurement: Engineered for extreme accuracy, the M500 consistently measures powder charges to within 0.1 grain. This level of precision is crucial for ensuring both the safety and optimal performance of your ammunition, preventing dangerous under- or over-charges. Its finely calibrated beam and magnetic damping system allow for quick and stable readings, minimizing measurement time.

  3. Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of frequent use on the reloading bench, the RCBS M500 boasts a robust and durable construction. Crafted from high-quality metals and plastics, it is designed for longevity, providing reliable service for years to come. Its sturdy base ensures stability during operation, contributing to consistent and accurate measurements.

  4. Magnetic Damping: Featuring an integrated magnetic damping system, the M500 quickly settles the beam, providing fast and stable readings. This essential feature eliminates excessive beam oscillations, allowing reloaders to efficiently obtain precise measurements without frustrating delays. It significantly enhances the speed and convenience of the manual weighing process.
