JayDub Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've had Brians "High-Performance Digital Powder Scale" on my Amazon list since before Christmas last year, my wife informed me she couldn't find it, so thought I'd show her where to order it from... Logged in to the website, went to the store and lo and behold it's not there, no digital scales offered anymore. The heck??? Anyone know what's up with that? I wanted that $135 lifetime warranty model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRock Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 There was a thread a while back where BE was asking people if they would buy the scale if you couldn't turn off the "auto-off" function. In other words, it would go off after a set time and you couldn't stop it. Apparently the new production of the scale was set up like that. I guess no one wanted it so he closed out what he had left. That's my guess any way. Sorry you couldn't get the scale. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayDub Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 OK DRock, thanks for the post and link. I had tried to search "High-Performance Digital Powder Scale" but got no hits... I guess my Google-Fu was weak! I have to admit I'd probably be frustrated with a scale that shut itself off after a while also. So, it looks like it's back to the drawing board for a digital scale. Anybody have recommendations for something awesome in the same price range??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I bought the Dillon electronic from Brian 4 years ago and it has been perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRock Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Glad the link clarified things, JD. I can sympathize with you. I do like a balance beam scale but still want a digital and the field is so wide with so many pros and coons, it's tough to choose. I guess at some point I'll just pick one in my price range and go with it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've been using an RCBS digital scale for several years. After a couple discussions and reading several threads, I've recently got a GemPRO 250. I really like it - resolution to .01 grains, it seems to stabilize more quickly, and I haven't witnessed any drift in tare. $122 delivered, I believe.

I've used the My Weigh scales for other applications and they've always been great. They have a pretty good guarantee as I recall. I'll have to check it out.

I wanted that $135 lifetime warranty model. For both of the scales I used to sell - they switched manufacturing companies. After that, both lost several important features that they previously had. So I stopped selling both of them. But just yesterday, I put a new scale in my store: http://www.brianenos.com/store/be.scale_pd.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnm45 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Begs the question: What's to happen with the "older scale(s)" that Brian sold with the lifetime warranties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRock Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The one that the OP was interested in was updated and the new model didn't have a way to disable the "auto shut off" feature. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blujax01 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've had excellent results with the stupidly-named Dillon D-Terminator. I took a vintage set of Ohaus check weights to a client who has NIST calibration on their lab gear and verified my weights ( 0.1 grain to 50 grain), then took them home and put them on the Dillon. Dead. Solid. Perfect. I do like the advertised features on the new scale Brian is selling, especially the hinged lid as well as the lifetime warranty (the Dillon is 12 months).

dsa Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I hope the GemPro 250 is what it is cracked up to be. I have one on the way based off the information here and some reviews I read elsewhere online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one on the way based off the information here and some reviews I read elsewhere online. I like mine. A little slow to read changes when trickling rifle powder, but its more than double the cost to get another scale that's faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowrider Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Dangit, you guys need to knock this stuff off. I'm old. I'm stubborn. I've used several different lab grade scales in an actual lab and am very skeptical of mass produced digitals. And I like my beam scale! But Brian being a retailer and several others saying they are GTG, and great feedback on other sites too is making me think I need one. I'm old y'all and you aren't helping!

Leadpilot Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I really didn't want to spend my money on a scale like this....glad I did. The piece of mind I have regarding accuracy and warranty was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
