Awesome digital scale for under $100

[kraky1]

I'll post a link below of a review I read lately that I really liked. The guy who wrote the review is very well known and respected in the shooting industry. I picked one of these up and played with it this afternoon and I'm really impressed. I was trickling some reloader 25 and I'm telling you this scale knows every grain that hits the pan. Most weighed .02 -.03 grain the scale always returned to a zero.
I don't think there's another scale out there in this price range that's anywhere near this good.

OK, where can I get this scale?
Do you have a link to someone selling it?

that's where I got it ....it came quickly nicely packaged. I'm pretty well loaded up with ammo right now and don't have any projects to do but I'm anxious to see how well I've been doing on my RCBS 10 10 scale and I'm a little scared of how my Hornady auto dispenser is going to show against the scale but as long as I can trickle on this thing I'm quite thrilled!

Fwiw.... I used my new digital scale today to double check my technique on my RCBS 10 10 scale. I calibrated it the way I usually do and then set it to throw 50 grains of Varget. It wasn't a huge deal but right away I found out my calibration is actually producing 50.1 approx grains. I'll have to adjust for that.
I threw 10 charges and trickled up the way I normally do and I found that my charges varied from 51.10 to 51.18 grains. I had about four or five that were at 51.15.
The bottom line is my 10 10 scale and the way I do things is good for a plus or minus .04 grains of powder which is probably 2 granules one way or another.
When I was done I asked quick load what the difference in speed would be with a 30 odd 6 between 51.10 grains and 51.18 grains and it came down to a whole whopping 4 fps. It would probably be slightly more as you went to smaller cartridges and slightly less if you want to bigger ones.
Obviously individual variation in case capacity, primers, neck tension, annealing and acts of God have more to do with your extreme spreads than my scale.
It would certainly seem it's probably not worth it for me to do all my reloading shell for shell on the new digital scale but it's kind of fun to have it just so I can check myself from time to time. And someday I'll have to break out my Hornady auto dispenser and just see what that thing does. I'm still glad I bought it for under $100 it's a pretty quality piece of equipment

Hornady bench rest model is a great digital scale works well and measures to 1/10 grain. I use it to weight bullets as well and use a bullet every so often to check it is still on.
