DF,
Glad to hear you're ok after what could have been a catastrophic incident!
Regarding digital scales, I did a lot of research and ended up buying a GemPro 250. It was highly rated in tests conducted by the folks on the Accurate Reloading site - haven't used it yet so I can't give you a personal review.
Flyboyflem (Woody) bought the 500 model so you may want to shoot him a PM.
BTW, I dig the teardrop checkering on that mauser's bolt handle. It's been quite a while since I've seen one like that!
