RCBS 10-10 plate

[abunaitoo]

I'm still looking for a replacement tenths measuring plate for one of my RCBS 10-10 scales.
Anyone know where I can get one????

Confrused here by "tenths measuring plate"? On mine, as your picture, tenths are a cylinder with an internal screw.

I believe the tenths are indicated by the hash marks on the drum, not a scale on the beam...

I’d suggest contacting RCBS, they would probably send you a new plate.

I also know this scale and the “plate” that’s missing is for grains, not tenths. The drum is for tenths.

Good luck on finding the part(s) you seek!

If you can't get one anymore, I would try to make one with a good ink pen with careful measurements and then take a picture of it and then print it or copy and print and you can make your print larger or smaller with percentages. You may have to find the right paper too. This may or may not work well but it is worth a try to not lose a valuable old scale like that.

Seems I recall, a while back a member made up a few of these. I believe he advertised it in the S&S section.

I did check with RCBS.
Scales were made by Ohaus, and the stopped making them.
No parts available.
I sent an email to Ohaus and got nothing back.

Buy a set of check weights and use those to set your scale. I find it much more accurate.

^^^ accurate yes, but not graduated in 1.0 grain increments ^^^
These are in grams:

The same plate was used on the RCBS 5-10 and a few similar ohause scales as well as well, as mentioned above there was a member who made a few, it has also been suggested that it may be possible to scan one ( or use the pix above) and play with the zoom to bring to the right scale for use.

I would also look on eBay or the like for scale parts

This is the plate I have made out of heavy card stock.

The one's I have are like these. The smaller rods are .5, 1, 2, 5 grains. I don't use the heavier ones and don't remember their weights.

Maybe 'Scott the Scale Guru' in CA has one? I can find his info, think he was on Facebook? He calibrated my Lyman M5 about 3 years ago. He can be hard to get a hold of, might be worth a shot? hc18flyer

Those I have not seen but would like to pick up a set in GRAINS like that...

There are several different sets available on Amazon ranging from $16.00 to $63.00. The set I have ran about $40.00 when bought them a few years ago. It doesn't appear the prices have been inflated like other reloading accessories.

I visited Amazon for a quick look at CHECK WEIGHT sets.

Here is ALL they had for GRAIN (gn) weight sets:

$21.99 Troemner 111.5 gn x 9 pieces

$31.88 Lyman 60.5 gn x 8 pieces

$39.99 Lyman 210.5 gn x 10 pieces

$62.99 RCBS 510.5 gn x 12 pieces

I apologize to the OP for the Thread Drift...

[Acorn]

Curious if the OP or anyone else for that matter found one of these. I too contacted RCBS and was told and I quote “buy a new scale”.
I thought about using tape and a fine point Sharpie. Kind of ghetto but you gotta do what you gotta do.

That looks really nice, but I’m not that good on ‘puters.
