The old hand me down beam balance type scale I have been using for 20 years ago broke and am needing a new scale fairly quickly. I am
Considering going to a digital but reviews on the sub $100 ones are very mixed.
Generally I use the scale to adjust and confirm my trusty old rcbs uniflow is throwing the charge I want for volume production. So I would not be using it for trickling or weighing individual charges like when making match grade ammo.
What do you use has it been reliable easy to use or have you anything I should really avoid?
All input appreciated.

You might look into this: https://www.amazon.com/Frankfo...arsenal+powder+scale

I haven't started reloading yet, but I have tested mine over a three day period, twice, using calibrated/traceable 1g and 500mg test weights. It was remarkably stable and repeatable. Rarely off by more than 1/10th of a grain, w/o recalibration, and usually right on.

Dillon D-Terminator

My old Dillon scale died when we moved, so I ordered this one. I've been using it for about 3 years and have been happy with it.
(Interestingly enough, I called Dillon to see if my old scale had a one year or lifetime warranty. Unfortunately, it was one year. But Dillon was cool enough to give me a $60 credit towards the new one if I sent my old one in. Dillon CS is awesom!)

Don't screw around. Just buy the Dillon and never look back.

Ask me how I know.
