The M1000 has a 1021 grain capacity, and features a three poise system.
Adjustments made using the large poise on the main beam, adjust from 0 to 1000
grains, in 20 grain increments. The medium poise on the top, adjusts from 0-20
grains in 1 grain increments. The small poise on bottom, in line with the main beam,
adjusts from 0 to 1 grains, in 0.1 grain increments. The M1000 utilizes magnetic
damping to eliminate unnecessary beam oscillation. It features a rugged die-cast
base with a large adjustable leveling foot for extra stability on the bench. Self-
aligning ceramic bearings support the hardened steel beam pivots to guarantee
sensitivity to 0.1 grains. Ambidextrous design with dual graduation markings allows
the user to read the weight from either side of the scale.
UNPACKING
Your M1000 Scale is packed in a specially designed carton to provide maximum
protection. Unpack the scale carefully to avoid damaging components. Identify parts
as you carefully unpack your new M1000 Mechanical Scale (Photo 1). To remove the
dust/storage cover, squeeze the cover at the middle tabs and lift off.

The M1000 scale is a highly precision reloading instrument. Included is a 694.6 grain
check weight. This weight was chosen to ensure that the operator positions all three
poises to a load greater than the mid capacity of the scale. RCBS suggests using
either OIML Class F2 standard check weights or NIST class F RCBS Check Weights
for checking the accuracy of your scale at other weigh points.
ASSEMBLY
To assemble your M1000 scale, place the beam assembly onto the base by first
inserting the damping vane in between the zero reference pointers (Photo 2).
Next rest the sharp edges of the pivot portion of the beam onto the ceramic bearings
(Photo 3). Place pan support onto shackle located at the end of the beam (Photo 4).
To complete assembly place scale pan onto pan support (Photo 5).
