Defective. Returned to Brownells
I received this scale with adequate packaging. The parts were secure and not free to vibrate against anything while in transit so I'm not sure why there were chips in the paint. I was also unable to zero this scale. I suspect it may have been returned repackaged and resold without being sent back to the factory. If I am wrong about that and it came from the factory in this condition Redding's quality control needs some help. I am completely disappointed in the quality of this unit. I expected better from Redding. This is my first negative experience with them.

Piece of trash
Not sure if I got a bad apple but I just used this scale for the first time and it was a nightmare. Had to re-zero every 5-10 charges. I double check all my charges usually with 2 scales and this time since this was a new scale, I tested against 3 scales - the Redding, an electronic scale and a RCBS 5-0-2. The Redding kept going off 0.1 - 0.2 grains and for precision loading, its not really effective. Ill stick to my RCBS 5-0-2...
