WHICH DIGITAL POWDER SCALE?

[DocLes]

I am sooooo tired of the beam scale, I think it's time for a digital. I have read so much on the different ones it has become confusing to me. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

This will serve you well, $134, NOT $1000! Google Reviews, I own one they are excellent.
GemPro 250

I use an RCBS Range Master 750. I know there are mixed reviews out there on this scale, but mine works great.

ScottNC...the GemPro 250 looks awesome. It would be nice to have a higher resolution scale than the RCBS 750.

I like my RCBS Chargemaster for my loads but, I load for hunting within 500 yards. It has served me well.

I have this and I really like it, especially once you do the mcdonalds straw mod. $335 with free shipping, and mail in $50 rebate OR 500 speer bullets. You might want to google for a midwayusa promo code. You can usually google and find $30 promo codes for orders over $300 from time to time.

Check out a Gem Pro 250. Relatively inexpensive, about $135.00, good long term warranty, fairly stable and drift free, and reads out to .02 gr. Don't know about battery life, don't use them, only the converter.

Oh, get the 52g XP56. Only $27,000. You'll be glad you did.

The GD503 is probably more than you need but is probably the standard for the anal retentive loader. Used to be around $1,100 shipped. Looks like it's gone up.

The GemPro 250 is a darn fine budget scale, though. For a strain gage scale it's hard to beat for the price. Good enough to count kernels at the Varget scale. Each kernel of Varget is about .02 more or less.

GD-503 is the way to go. The Prometheus is a beam scale, but if you plan on shooting nothing but extruded powders, it is the way to go for powder only.
