Dimension, 3.65 X 4.20 X 12.60. inches **Q: Does ohaus still make this scale for rcbs? my old rcbs scale says “made by ohaus” and has the name ohaus cast into the base.** A: Don’t think so. Mine only says RCBS **Q: does it come with a calibration weight?** A: No but as it is a mechanical beam scale it doesn't go out of calibration unless damaged. It just needs to be leveled with an empty pan to zero before use and when it's moved. These are much more reliable than any electronic scale under $500. ## Frequently Bought Together - M500 MECHANICAL SCALE - RCBS Powder Trickler - 9089 , Green - RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure III Accurate Power Thrower 9016 Green --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/43882545-rcbs-m500-mechanical-reloading-scale-505-grain-capacity-green](https://www.desertcart.in/products/43882545-rcbs-m500-mechanical-reloading-scale-505-grain-capacity-green) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
