Recomendations on digital scale and powder measure?

[koop]

I just got a Horizon Pro-50A electronic scale on Amazon for $45.99 shipped. It's accurate down to .02 grains and I'm actually quite impressed with how good it works. Of course, always back up everything you do with a good beam scale, but for convenience and good accuracy this scale is hard to beat. I'm actually surprised not more folks in the reloading community know about this little scale. For the money I've not found any other digital scale that comes even close; and I've scoured many reloading forums and read hundreds of posts and articles to research which scale to get. As far as I'm concerned this is a supreme deal for the money. Got it today, calibrated it, tared it. Everything appears to work flawlessly.

I'm in the "it ain't an upgrade category."

For rifle cartridges, the RCBS 10-10 scale and Uniflow powder measure are my most trusted combo.

An electronic scale is convenient, but one will never take the place of a quality beam scale on my bench.

The dispenser combos aren't my cup of tea. Too slow and temperature sensitive for my taste.

Hey Swampersand, Just to let you know the Lyman 1200 DOS-3 is very sensitive to static electricity. Wipe down the clear plasitic powder tube and the dispenser plastic with a dryer sheet and your problems will most likely go away. I do touch it up from time to time. I love mine now that I fixed it.

QUOTE=swampersand;136702977]I "upgraded" to a Lyman 1200 DPS-3 and I'm afraid I made a multi-hundred dollar mistake. The charges can vary by rather large amounts and the drift in zero is so frequent that you need to zero every few charges.

Wow I posted this up a quite a few months ago and it reappears?
Well I was going to upgrade my scale but after agonizing on it and using the funds for the new scale for more reloading supplies, I stuck with my 505 and a uni flow measure, and am just muddling through, but speed is not everything?
