Lyman Le-1200 Scale

[AustinMike]

Anybody have any experience with a Lyman LE-1200? I noticed Midway has them on sale for $100 this month. Good deal or spend the extra $40 for the Dillon? I've got the Dillon beam scale now and I'm considering an electronic scale for faster measurements and sanity checking.

I sell all brands of reloading equipment, and I have had the oportunity to try out all sorts, and I have no particular axe to grind.

For an easy to use, reasonable price, reliable, accurate and best backup service. DILLON.

All the other electronic scales that go to 1000grains or so are good, they each have excellent points, some pitfalls, but all round. DILLON

Stay well away from anything that will not weigh up to 1000grains, they all seem to be temperature sensitive, vibration sensitive to the point of annoyance. Don't get me wrong you have to be careful with all of them, but jeez some detect a mouse farting in the next county and take two weeks to settle again.

I have one. Good scale. I have nothing to compare it to, this is the first digiscale I own. But it has not given me any trouble yet and I have it for about two years now.

I have an older Pact and haven't had any problems at all in the 6 or 8 years I've had it. I'd second the 1000 grain capacity and make sure you buy the electric cord for it if offered. Mine didn't have that option.
