| So I'm sick of my scale. I will place a charge on it and it will start off saying 22.4 then it will go up or down to 22.6 or 22.0 it says its 1/10th grain accuracy but when charging pistol loads that 0.2grn + or - is a lot and I can't trust it if I'm loading pistol its fine for rifle . So I have been looking at a few new scales trying to keep the price under $100 I like the digital. I found this scale Mack 100 by Jennings it looks like a nice scale for $70. I'd be willing to hear any other scales also. |

You should note that the scale is built such that it is almost impossible to trickle powder with it. I've got the Jennings MAC 20 with .02 grain resolution. It's kind of over kill but it works great once you get used to it. Edited to add: I learned the hard way with the MAC 20 that digital scales need a leveled marble slab with an anti-vibration pad on it. And yet even more ETA: all reloaders need one of these to fall back on, it never misleads you.

I'd be willing to hear any other scales also. I had the same experience. I tried many cheap "made in china" digital scales. Fortunately I had a good ATK beam scale (like the one above) to back them up. They all had hysteresis or memory or both. I finally decided to buy a ~$200 one before the cheap ones led to something breaking or someone getting hurt. You get what you pay for. |

Does it trickle well? repeatable, stable? |
