Reloading scale

[Weiserbucks]

My lower priced electronic scale just took a dump . Are the more expensive ones worth the money or should I just use my beam scale ? I think I may always distrust electronic scales after this .

I use a beam. Don't trust the electronics, and don't need speed for the loading I do. mtmuley

I used to use a electronic scale, and I went back to the beam scale like it a lot better I have the Rcbs slide scale

I've got the RCBS 5-10 beam scale that works great. The electronic scale was nice but I'm kind of gun shy about them now . The one that failed was consistently reading over 8 grains LOW . That's more than enough to cause safety issues, much less precision.

I use both. I have the Chargemaster and the Rangemaster electronic, and the higher end beam scale. I use the electronic and then the beam to double check. I have not had any bad luck with the electronic versions. I usually load about ten rounds once everything has been zeroed then check with the beam and repeat till finished.

I really like my rcbs chargemaster. ce61

Be careful of using electronic scales around florescence lights. I read where they can be thrown off by florescence lighting sometimes.

I have both but use the electronic scale for weighing and sorting cases. I use my beam scale for weighing powder charges.

I use a LYMAN DPS 1200 electronic measurer with built in scale and check each load with a RCBS 5_10 beam scale just to be safe.
