best digital scale for the $

[wildhorse1]

New to reloading I have an RCBS balance beam scale but would like a decent digital scale without breaking the bank.

I have a Pact and really like it. Easy to calibrate and seems to stay in calibration without too much trouble. Another big plus for me is that they are made in the USA.

I've seen them under $300, and the $50 rebate was just extended to Jan 31st.

I would love to get the chargemaster but right now its not in the budget. It seems I have spent a small fortune already and still need several things so I have to wait on that.

You might look at a GemPro 250. My Weigh GemPro 250

To each his own. When any reloading grade of digital scale works properly it's as 'good' as any other. When one craps out they're all cheap Chinese 'throw-away' junk, not worth the cost of repairing. What any of us actually gets is luck of the draw, not brand or how much it costs. The people who luck-out think they're great, those with bad luck disagree. A LOT of people who have tried them have gone back to their mechanical scales.

I used to repair and calibrate precision electonic instruments in the space program. There are no digital powder scales on my bench nor will there be. I do have a cheap battery operated scale for weighing cases but if it's wrong, or quits, no one will die.

X2 - give me a good beam scale and I see no reason to take a chance using an electronic.
