My RCBS took a crap. What is the trigger gauge to get these days?

I've seen Lyman used quite a bit.

I use a Timney. It repeatedly matches manufacturer's specs as to weight.

I have the Lyman also and seems pretty decent. I have had it a couple years, still on the same crap China batteries, LOL but I always take them out when not using it. Midway also has Free Shipping on totals over $49,so the good is free shipping, bad is ya have to buy more stuff,,,LOL.

Contact RCBS and most likely they will send you a replacement.

Curious as to how you broke yours...

A better way to confirm pull weights are reading correctly is to actually pull (lift) known weights (like using check weights on a scale).

Even better if you can test your scale over a wide range of weights. One that is dead on at around 4lbs might not be so 'accurate' around 8 or more... You never know until you check for yourself.
