Storing the RCBS Model 10-10 reloading scale ... and other hints

When not in use, RCBS recommends storing the scale parts in the base plate and plastic cover. This video shows how to properly store the scale and provides other helpful hints.

Mine is the Ohaus 10-10 scale, circa 1990. I got it out for the first time in many years, today. It was easy to set up, but, when it came time to put it up, the head scratching began. I could not remember how it had been stored. Your video saved me a lot of frustation. Very well done and easy to follow. Thanks.

Roddy, I am glad it was useful to you.

Thanks so much for explaining how to properly store the scale with its parts. I was ready to pull my hair out, but your video made sense. Thanks again.

Same here don't care to repeat the words I've used when trying to put it up for storage.

I love my circa 1990 10*10 scale, and have always struggled to store it correctly. Thank you so much for this video.

An excellent video on a very fine scale. I was taught exactly how this video explained from the old timer that taught me how to reload and told me to buy this scale over 20 years ago. I still have this scale and store it in this manner and keep it inside a plastic shoe box in my reloading room.

Sounds like you had a great mentor.

I give this video a (RCBS) 10-10. I bought a used one and couldn’t figure out how to store it properly. It drove me nuts until about 3sec ago.

Thanks Nathan. It is a great scale and their engineering did a great job of packaging it....but their instruction book writers did a so-so job on how to set up and take down.

I always find something in your interpretations to be useful, in this case the number 400 will provide my + - thirty five year old 10-10 scale some relief when being placed back in it's container and original box. Thank you

FINALLY!!! I got it repackaged correctly. Thank you. 😊

Thx you for making this video I inherited this scale it was in a box just scattered pieces now I can store it properly 👍

[@knowledge2you]

Glad it was helpful Phil.

THANKS! I thought the best I might find would be a photo of one somewhere, this was way better.

[@knowledge2you]

Glad I could help.

[@larryheflin1788]

Thanks. You saved me from some further head scratching.

Thanks a lot for the video!

Am I right in guessing that the copper damper moves freely in an air gap between two magnets to generate a damping force that has no magnetic "pull" effect? Something to do with eddy currents. We're clever idea.

[@knowledge2you]

+Roger, yes, you are correct. This helps stabilize the beam quicker.

The attachment weight that came with my 10-10 states that its actual weight is 250gn. It is not a substitute for a bona fide check weight but it is accurate at its listed weight.
