I'm getting back into reloading and need a scale. What say you?

I jus bought this LEE. I hope it works out. I wish it would weight over 100 grains for bullets.

That's the scale I use. It's adequate, but the little tab you push in to hold it in place is flimsy.

RCBS Chargemaster. Love it.
Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money but we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money. What's interesting is the first group WORKED for their money but the other group didn't.

Gave up on the digital went back to the balance beam I'm tempted to... I have a Lyman and it is a bit inconsistent.

I still prefer a balance beam scale. I use an RCBS 5-0-5. Just me, but then I am old- school in a lot of ways. Sorry to give you a non-answer on a digital.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Sorting cast bullets by weight is a LOT faster and more precise with a digital scale than with the balance beam type. That said, I use an old RCBS 10/10 scale for weighing out all of my powder charges. Ed

If you want a powder dispenser as well as a scale, either the RCBS or Hornady units are great. If you only want a digital scale, I highly recommend the Winstead-Peters model sold by Berry's Mfg. Simply superb. LINK

RCBS CHARGEMASTER here also. Learned my lesson about others digital scales. My CHARGEMASTER is correct every time I've checked it against my RCBS 1010 scale.

RCBS CM is a darn fine scale. My 1010 and Dillon are gathering dust in the garage since adding a CM to my loading room years back.

I've been very pleased with my Hornady Auto Charge.The scale on that thing is better than my Pact or RCBS scales.
