Review on Enhance Reloading Accuracy with OHAUS 30393272 Reloading Height Length by Eric Avina

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overpriced, like all others, but for sure

This product should not cost as much as it costs. At the same time, all 505s are the same, and this is the cheapest. Most of the 505 pieces are custom made by ohaus. So you're paying more for something that's overpriced for the green trim and logo alone. It is very accurate and sensitive. I haven't tested extensively with test loads yet. My biggest complaint at this point is the fact that it's a hollow metal frame. Money really needed to fill them with lead plates or harden them like an RCBS stone cutting press. Then I think people think it's worth the asking price. Make sure the table it's on is level, make sure the pole is level, then set the knob to 0. It's physics, as long as the graduated lines are placed correctly and nothing is obstructing the pivot, it will work and be accurate. It should be noted that yes, the actual line 0 I have is rough, as in the photos. I may have gotten a blemish on an early model, but nothing more than a blemish. This is a reference point and has little to do with overall accuracy. I also see some comments that the setting wheel needs to be turned all the way to zero. I have the opposite, I have to pull it up. Let's see how she behaves. When placed on a shelf and not moved, it looks like a quality scale. Once you pick it up and see how light it is. it immediately looks cheap. Maybe it's cheaper to ship that way. I can fill mine with lead shot and spray foam. Update the leveling foot. My cup under the screw was filled with lead shot. If the leg is too high, or in my case too low, simply remove the brass tray, which has a screw underneath that opens a lid that you can use to put a shot, rice, or anything else that really helps. In my case, my leveling foot was screwed in and still slightly level. So I just took something out of the cup and now the foot is about halfway to level the scale.

Pros
  • Package Dimensions: 27.0 H x 9.2 D x 11.4 W (centimeters)
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
