Looking for an electronic scale

[rsrocket1]

This is a perfect case for using the cheap old Lee Safety Scale.
You zero the scale, set the weight, lock the vernier window with the pin and your scale is all set. After dialing and locking in your powder drop, you simply check every 10th round or so by dropping it into the pan. The slider cannot move so all you need to do is to see that the needle is close to or on the line.

I know there are some who are "all thumbs" or cannot clearly see anything closer than 6', but this scale only needs to be adjusted carefully once and you don't even need to be weighing anything, just set the window and lock the pin. After that, it's pretty easy to see whether the indicator needle is pointing at the line or not.

I have had a Cabela's XT-1500 for several years with no complaints. It works great and holds accuracy just fine.

I don't know how anyone uses an electronic that is not AC powered. I had a Hornady one and it was horrible. It shut off just as it was warming up. And the, check weight, weight would vary up to 1.5 grains depending on where you put it on the scale. Now I have the RCBS Chargemaster dispenser combo. The scale is dead on compared to my beam. And it doesn't shut off unless I want it to. I was going to get a PACT but they weren't in stock and the Chargemaster came out on top in all of the comparisons I read. The dispenser just happens to be an added bonus. If I were to do it over I'd lean towards the Brian Enos scale as it seems to be a great design.

I used to use a digital. Then I bought a decent used beam scale and I'll never look back. Never, ever, ever. And my digital worked properly and was dead on... it's just that using a digital actually slower, and could be a little maddening at times waiting for it to finally settle on a number.

Unless you are trying to find the weight of unknown objects, which digital scales are great for, or unless you are dead set on going digital for some other reason besides "that's more advanced technology," stick with your beam scale.

My cabela's XT-1500 works on a battery or AC power. I have never used it with batteries, but it works great with AC power.
