[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Digital Scale Recommendations

Posted: 8/31/2013 2:10:09 PM EDT

I have been using a Dillon Eliminator beam scale to work up / down my charge for my Dillon RL550B and SDB presses. For some reason it is starting to get finicky and I am having to double, triple, and quadruple check things when setting the charge for my presses. I would like to get a accurate and reliable digital scale but not spend an arm and a leg. I am only using the scale set my charge initially on the press and then periodically spot check the charge during my run to make sure it is still spot on. I was looking at the scale from BrianEnos.com but would appreciate some cost effective digital scale recommendations for me to look at please.

I was going through this same thing about a month ago I almost bought the RCBS Rangemaster, but I found a killer deal on Ebay on a brand new Hornady Auto Charge for the same money. Also looked at both scales on Brian Enos and the Dillon Terminator.

Rangemaster 750 won't break the bank and plenty accurate.

The Gem Pro one looks pretty good. I used a Lyman 1200 for many years (another strain gauge balance -- it was pretty good, too). I eventually replaced it with a magnetic force restoration balance (An A&D FX-120i).

if your looking a Brians small scale, look at E. Arthur Brown Co.. It'ssaid to be the same scale just much cheaper and a 5yr warranty vs 20yr

Has anyone tried the new Lyman 1500 or 2000 scales? The GemPro 250 does look pretty nice as well.

Have you contacted Dillon about your present scale?

Hadn't had a chance to yet as it is a holiday weekend. I thought having a second scale would be a good idea in case one goes bad and that way I am not left hanging.

I have used a PACT for years - very satisfied.
