Digital Scales
 

Does anyone know of a good digital scale that is less than $100? From what research I've done, I might be better going with a balance scale.

Well at least with balance scales, you can know you are accurate. I have tried about everyone on the market under 150 dollars. And all fell short in some way. The Pact scales were ok for measuring static things like broadheads, and brass, but still had a lag when triclking charges.

Might try AcuLab scales.I used Acu Lab scales to weigh Liq products where accuracy was less than 1 gram as I recall when calibrated properly.
The weights can cost as much as scale.Try there web site for refurb units.Don't know if you can get one for less than $100 ???

Are most of the balance scales of the same quality, or is their one brand that stands out from the others that I should consider?

I have the RCBS chargemaster 1500 and it serves as a very expensive powder dump. I use a balance beam to finish them off.

Thats just sad. They all make such promising claims and in the end a $30 balance scale is just as good.

I have a wieght calibration kit I got from work when they did away with the machine shops. I am shocked how accurate they can make a balance beam and be so cheap. My RCBS is accurate to the 1/10 grain.

I like my Redding beam scale. Easy to use, pretty fast and accurate.

Used the same old undampened Redding scale for 35 years. My son bought me a spiffy RCBS Powder Pro electronic scale for Christmas in 2004. The thing is useless: Needs frequent calibration and goes haywire then the heat or AC comes on.Went out and bought a new dampened Redding beam scale that is very accurate.

I had a Lyman 1000 which is over $100 and it was off by as much as 3 gr over only a couple of weighs. Don't know if it had to do with the electronics in my house or not.
