Advice on accurate digital scale?

[allemanp]

Looking for advice on a very accurate and dependable digital scale for reloading. Really want a dillon, but looks like they are 6-8 weeks out. Thanks in advance for any advice.

i think the responses are going to depend on what you consider very accurate. most of your standard electronic reloading scales are pretty much about the same from what i have found. if you realy want repeatable accuracy from an electronic scale you should probably be looking at lab scales. they are expensive but much better quality than your off the shelf scales.

I'll get beat over the head for the following statement, but it is my own experience. YMMV.

I purchased a relatively cheap digital scale made by SmartReloader. An SR750. This scale is normally around $50.

I have used it for over a year and it is always right on the money when I compare it with other scales.

I use a myweigh i201 scale. You need to go into the hundreds of dollars to beat it. You can find them for $60-$70.

I have the Hornady digital scale. I haven't used it yet but read good reviews on it. It was <$50

But keep a good beam scale around , like a RCBS 5-0-5 ( or any name brand scale ), for the days when the batteries run out or because the moon's in the wrong phase . I had an electronic that would act squirrely every time the air cooled condensing unit would click on outside...it was the change in electricity in the house current that made it read incorrectly.
anyway it doesn't hurt to have another scale to double check weights with. If the beam scale and electronic scale both read the same you can be sure everything is good.

I have a Hornady 1500 or something like that. I don't trust it below .2gr. It jumps around sometimes, my a/c messes with it and it will take time to settle. I have a Lyman beam scale to double check.

Happy with my free RCBS someone no longer wanted. BTW I use checking weights and it is on but still check, even with the 505

I have my 5-0-5 rcbs and use it to check my MTM Digital Mini Reloading scale. Both seem to be within .02 grains. As close to as I can read. Then I got the Dillon..Still in the +/- .02gr of the MTM. Just giving you another option. I use both and check off each other.

If this is for rifle rounds spend the coin an buy a RCBS Charge Master 1500. Then reprogram it to dump faster. PM me and I can tell you how.
