what do you guys think?  clicky clicky

worth it or not?
I'm looking for a cheap digital scale and I have a beam scale I can check it against for accuracy.

Cheap digitals can be finicky. Meaning they can drift over the course of a loading session (causing you to waste time using check weights) and possibly have issues with florescent lighting. The best digital I've used is an acculab followed by an rcbs chargemaster combo that was good enough to get my 308s down to a SD of 9. I use a prometheus now though. :)

Why don't you trust the beam? Are you just looking for something faster?

Ah yes, tweeker scales. Tweekers do really seem to like them.  I used to use one at work that was about $35, it was worthless. A lot of these cheap scales give you conflicting readings. Save your money and get a good one.

I'm very happy with my RCBS 750.  

I spend too much time at my reloading bench as it is, and I really don't want to fuck with a beam scale.

Ordered this particular scale....from the link below - been using it for about a year now, no complaints

Good price...not sure I would trust it without double checking against my beam scale for 100 rounds or so.

I have a PACT scale I trust.

They list the precision as:Capacity & Accurcary: 9260 x 2 gn, 386 x 0.1 dwt, 600 x 0.1 g, 21.2 x 0.005 oz






That is +- two grains, not 0.1 grains

They call it accuracy, but they do not know what that term means.
