Great post. I'm also interested in reliability. Answers anyone?

I have a Pact BBK II scale that I have been pretty happy with. I have only had it about a year though. I think I gave about $85-90 for it from Midway. It's been reliable and accurate. You might want to check Shooting Supplies, Reloading, Gunsmithing, Hunting, Ammunition, Gun Parts & Rifle Scopes — MidwayUSA and read the reviews of the various digital scales they sell.

One thing about digital scales is that they are very susceptible to interference from certain things like cell phones and, as I found out the other day, my back massager. I was using my massager in my reloading room and every time I turned it on my scale went crazy.:leaving:

I can't wrap my head around using a cheap piece of made in China digital crap to meter something as important as gunpowder. I use a balance beam scale, probably made in China as well.

The PACT scales, and the RCBS models that are made by PACT(not all RCBS digitals are made by them), are made in the USA.:)

mid south says the smart reloader is made in Italy. I may pick up one up for giggles, I do like my balance beam.

I heard mention of a jewelers scale by jennings cost 70 dollars and by some reports a good scale. I think is the max20 or something like that I can look for it again if interested but others said is was good accuracy

Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Electronic Powder Scale 750 Grain Capacity - MidwayUSA

I guess they went off sale, but I ordered one of these units Friday night, and it was $19.99 on sale. I thought "why not?" I;ve just played with it for a few minutes, but it seems pretty darned accurate! It even came with a carrying case, pan, tare weight, and batteries. I doubt it will completely replace my beam scale, but for spot checking handgun charges, it'll probably get the nod.
