When I bought my reloading equipment the first time, 13 yrs ago, I remember plenty of choices for decent digital scales. Had a nice one that was called a Pact II I beleive. It was black....I see another color of it with no so great reviews out there. Mine was accurate and I was happy with it. Sold it when I sold off all the rest of my stuff years ago. Doesn't seem like that much of a selection on the big sites now, an many have few or low reviews. Most of the scales I see include some type of powder thrower. I don't really need or want all that. Just one accurate so I can reliably weight my charges. Anybody recommend a decent digital scale in the $100-$150 range?
 
Ask your nearest drug dealer. ;)
 
I thought the feds had banned them for causing drug dealing.
 
Canā€™t speak from first hand experience, but Iā€™ve heard lots of good things about the Gempro 250. Search Amazon for it.

+1 for Toprudder's comment.


The GemPro 250 is all I use now. Since I got mine, I have put away the Dillon and RCBS scales. I like that it will weigh to the nearest 0.02 grains and I have found that when I turn it on and calibrate it, it stays calibrated as long as I do not turn it off.

When I first bought it I ran checks on my Dillon mostly and found that the variances I got were in the Dillon more often than not. I wouldn't Trade my GemPro for anything, but I load for Precision Rifle and that is where it really shines. I can weight a single kernel of H4350 when trickling up. The sensitivity of the scale is better than the others by far. Now that won't matter very much for pistol, plinking ammo, or shotshells, so if you are loading those it may not be worth the added cost.
 
$21.99 + shipping is what I see come up and I paid about that a few years ago. Shipping was extremely fast, had it the next day. My Lyman check weights were over $10 more, but every time I've checked the scale, it is dead on. The only negative of this scale is when you start loading some of the big magnum rifle rounds that use 75 grains and over of powder. The pan the scale uses is not big enough to hold that much volume, but for pistol and most rifle, it is great.
