Absolutely love my RCBS 5-0-5, more than adequate. Personally don't trust a digital scale, too many ways to malfunction.

My Dillon Digital scales works. I had a Lyman that didn't work at all.

I've checked the Dillon scale and it consistently reads the pan even with a trickle. I posted about a test I did here a while back. At $170 for the scale and case it has made reloading much more enjoyable for me.

I agree with what has been said, a beam scale is much more reliable. I re-weigh about every 4-5 powder charges to make sure the scale is reading properly.
