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

I've got a charge master I use for rifles. I've just bought a rangemaster 2000 I use under a Harrell pistol measure. I weigh each charge. So much faster than a beam scale. Hasbeen

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.

I bought the Hornady for use at the loading table when wanting to check bullet weights, brass and certain loads. Mine calibrates well and doesn't take up much bench space.

Like you I had no idea where to start with a digital scale. I shopped midway and read the reviews users posted there. What I saw was that high cost doesn't = high satisfaction. The Lyman Micro got great reviews through a high number of reviewers. I tried it and have been perfectly happy with it.
