Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles What's a good DIGITAL SCALE?

I bought one of these for $24:

I bought it for loading at the shooting bench. I figured that if I could find a scale that would agree with my 5-0-5, then I would not have to take the latter along with me. It registers fairly close and consistent on known checkweights. So I took it with me on my next trip to the range.

What I found was that it was darn close in the ranges I was using it for. I used it for the first time working up a .223 load last summer. It's one shortcoming is that it was sensitive to wind, but it was still less so than the 5-0-5. I built a case for it so I could trickle powder into the pan while keeping the scale itself out of the breeze.

Most recently, I've been using it to check the the throws of my new Hornady LNL AP. It's faster than the 5-0-5.
