which digital scales


Recommended Posts

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Good beam scales (RCBS is my preference) and a targetmaster.

 

I've always found digital scales of any quality to be subject to too much interference from temperature, movement or just their mood. You can't beat gravity for accuracy and a targetmaster for consistency.

Same as mine, totally stable but not cheap. Also, you could consider the Sartorius Entris series which replaced the old GD503 ( the orig benchmark).

 

Unless you get a magnetic restoration force scale, you're gonna be disappointed with "digital". Don't say you weren't warned

Or you could get a refurbed analytical lab balance which will have a guaranteed accuracy. For example, I got mine from:

It's a Mettler P163, and it cost £105.

 

Here's one on fleabay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mettler-P163-Balance-Scale-Vintage-Model-With-power-Lead-/222191888176?hash=item33bbab2730

And inconsistent neck tension is more likely to affect group size than slight inconsistencies in charge weight.

If you're doing a lot of reloading (I'm catering for two keen shooters with 6 rifles between us, 4 calibres.......), then speed and ease of use becomes important,

and this is where these old lab balances shine.

They were designed to be used for rapid accurate weighing.
