    Great scales but no longer made.

    Anything apart from the Lee, the Lyman beam scales seem good value

    actually other than the lack of proper damping making them take a while to settle down, the Lee scales are accurate and more than up to the job. There are more expensive scales out there that are less accurate and easier to damage without noticing, the Lee arms won't bend, they will break

    Mine's an RCBS 5.0.2 way better than the Lee I had before.
    Usually plenty for sale on the bay especially from the states.
