Digital Powder Scale
Is there a reasonably priced powder scale on the market. I started looking on the internet and found all kinds of digital scales for less than $20.00, I guess in todays world digital scales aren't exactly rocket science?

I use this one. It's matches the Lee safety scale exactly and has greater capacity for things like bullets, which the Lee can't do if over 100 grains. Plus it's a lot faster.
It's a little susceptible to static and the batteries need to be good, the oem batteries are junk and should not even be installed - no exaggeration. It powers itself off after only around a minute, and that's a bit annoying and it uses batteries fairly quickly. Will measure only to a tenth of a grain. Despite all that, I like mine a lot and I use it 3-4 times a week. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpag...eitemid=713372 It comes with a reference weight and a tray for powder plus a small scoop that is surprisingly useful. It's pretty small, an average coffee mug would cover most of it. |

I bought one of those cheapo $20 scales off eBay. It won't measure accurately enough for my to want to reload with it. I bought a Pact which seems to work fine.
If you want my cheapo, PM me and I'll give it to you for the postage. |

just be sure it is DEAD LEVEL. mine drove me nuts for a week until I figured out that it is VERY sensitive to being off level.
and "compare" at $63.00??? I never saw that price when I was shopping for it. at my local mom and pop I paid $39.00 (and no shipping) |
