AultGM Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Has anyone here owned or used one of these scales ? If so, is it accurate enough for reloading purposes ? http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-Pocket-Scale-0...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited November 1, 2008 by AultGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) The resolution for grains is in 0.2 increments. Buy a dillon or rcbs or lee or CED or a scale with 0.1 grain resolution. Also a scale which holds its zero is a good idea. Edited November 1, 2008 by yoshidaex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the other scales you listed are recommended, but I rarely reload anymore and won't be competing in anymore National Events as the effects of old age have caught up with me, so I just wanted something other than the Beam Scale I have used in the past and didn't want to spend a lot of money. I really wanted to know if anyone has ACTUALLY had good or bad experiences with THIS particular scale. Thanks for your reply ... http://cgi.ebay.com/Digital-Pocket-Scale-0...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited November 1, 2008 by AultGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINMAN44 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I wouldn't carry a scale like that. I use an old school RCBS scale, works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisStock Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Bought one just like it when I first started reloading. After an hour of head scratching frustration, it now sits in my cabinet under the reloading bench with the rest of shortcut shi* I can't use. Bought an inexpensive Hornady scale for $30 that holds zero and is accurate to within 1/10th of a grain, and haven't looked back. ETA: Putting my money where my mouth is: They want $25 delivered, I'll sell you mine that was used for one reloading session for half that amount delivered to your front door.

Finally, someone who actually has experience with this (price range) scale. I'll just go ahead and buy a good one and be done with it. Thanks for your honest opinion ...
