[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1296534, member: 44340"] No a $1000+ plus digiscale wont weigh powder any 'better' than a good 200 dollar gemscale. It just has many more functions and features primarily for use in laboratories along with interfaces to computer etc. Plus they are usually enclosed/sealed to aid in control purposes or when weighing toxic substances. Thus the extra costs - none which relate to our purposes for using them. So you have in the digiscale world: 1) Low cost $75-$150: 'powder scales' not too precise but fine for weighing non-precision loads 2) med cost:$150-$250: 'gem scales' precise and used for weighing very valuable small things and precision loads 3) High cost: $1000++: 'laboratory scales' which have features not necessary for reloading Hope this helps in your understanding of the various grades of digital scales. Either 1 or 2 above do the job. #2 does the job faster if you are reloading for precision because you dont have to double weigh each load.
