What make/model of electronic digital scale do you use and what is your opinion/experience concerning it?

I use an early Lyman, it needs to warm up for about 10 minutes before the zero and calibration readings become consistent. Draft-free area of course or else use the little plastic cover that's designed to keep the wind out.
Good luck, Joe

Don, I am using the Lyman 850 gr capacity "pocket model" that I reviewed in the Journal about a year and a half ago.  I said then and would still affirm that it does the job for me quite well and is handy to carry around to the range with me.  I am still on my first battery, and will probably have to replace it soon, but I have gotten two shooting seasons out of it.  I changed my mind from the article and carry it in its own little wooden box so it is protected from the wind (see everyone else's opinion on that...I concur  ) 

I believe the equivalent product from Lyman now is their 1000 grain model as they keep making them larger in capacity without making significant size increases of the scale itself.  I'm not sure but that I would look at Lyman's (and anyone else's) offerings for who has an AC adapter available for the scale I want...but I still like the battery function best however.   

One must have item that is unique to Lyman but available for separate purchase is the little "Powder Pal" combination weighing pan and powder funnel.  With any electronic scale, you first zero it out with the Powder Pal in place, then as you weigh each charge use the funnel feature to transfer powder directly to the case.  I even use this to do BP and it is very quick and efficient.   

HTH, Froggie

Question:

With these various scales, when allowed to warm up and with drafts/air movement eliminated, do the scales arrive at a weight and stay there or do they fluctuate? Will the weight be the same every timre you weigh the same item?

Maybe dumb question(s) but I may have to buy another scale and don't want to get burned. The LCD display on these thing would be invaluable to me (more visible).

Don,  I would only say to you and anyone else contemplating this purchase, "Stay away from the bottom-of-the-line models, especially since the good stuff has become so affordable."   

I would suggest you go with the Dillon, RCBS, or Lyman (as I already have) that fits your needs and checkbook.  You might also look at Ohaus if they are making a model applicable to your needs as they are one of the pioneers in this field.  With the name brand stuff like this, should something go wrong, you have a little more hope of recourse than if you get the brand X model from East Armpit, Indonesia.  I DO remeber that Ohaus used to offer a model with a LARGE red LED display which might be a consideration for you...I would check for that option/feature on the websites of the various suppliers as you begin to narrow your choice.

HTH!  Froggie

Good morning, DonH;

Quite a few of the folks on my side (BPCR) have started using MyWeigh scales.  The next one I buy will be this brand, too.   

They are a scale company and probably make some of the shooters "name branded" models.  They make several scales that can be set to weigh in grains.  They make one especially for weighing powder, also.  Do a search on myweigh scales and you will find several places to order them.

Like I said, several of our guys use them and I haven't heard a bad word yet.  Even better, they are cheaper than the "reloading scales".

Y'all be good.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I also have and use a MyWeigh. In addition to it's accuracy and consistency, I particularly like being able to switch between the various measuring units, grains, grams, ounces and a host more. 

Anyone interested in one can contact  Dean Becker :
