Does anyone have any experiences or opinions with these scales. I am new to reloading and still getting all of my gear together. I will only be doing a couple hundred rounds of 357 magnum target loads at the time, dont want to spend big money on scales but I want to be sure that I get the powder quantity accurate.
Any help most appreciated

I use a scale I got on Ebay cheap.
Goes to .001gr, I've checked against other scales and its right on. For the 25$ its hard to beat.

Cant load ammo fast enough to keep the guns fed.
Old data is only old because it was printed before the laywers got out of hand.

Are you sure it's .001 gr and not .001 g? Even at .001 g (or 1 mg) that's accuracy to +/- .01543 gr, which would be as good as my $175 scale.

This is the one I have, this is for 5 of em.

You'll have to watch for a single one, maybe email the seller.

I did quite a bit of "shopping" before I bought my scale. One of the sources for information is here. http://www.digitalscale.com/scalemagazine.htm

I opted for a My Weigh GemPro 250 "diamond" scale that is accurate (and reproducible) to .001 gram. The grain readout has .02 grain increments, so it's at least accurate to +/- .02 grains.
