Scale recommendation

[UndFrm]

I currently have a RCBS Pocket 1500 and is terrible with the drift. Picking the powder pan up and placing it again shows drift as much as 0.3gr and goes back and forth so there's no way to judge what is the correct reading.
No drafts, wiped the thing with dryer sheet and as away from electronics as possible but the issue is still there.

Other than the beam scale, is there an electronic one that won't drift? Preferably with an auto trickler but not a necessity.
Budget is less than 300USD. That being said, I wouldn't want to spend 300 only to find out that I need to get a fx120 for reliable measure, so if I absolutely need to spend more, let me know and I'll delay my purchasing.

Thank you

I had a Hornady and an RCBS. Overthrows or underthrows all the time.
FX120i. Perfection every time.

Since i built my reloading room i had my electrician wire my scale outlet on its own breaker, and only led lights used in the room and i have no more drift with any scales. Still decided to order a AT v4.

I owned Chargemaster Lites and they did drift but not a lot when I kept them behind a line conditioner. Dealing with drift is just par of the course until you step up to a better class of scale. If money is tight I think I'd run a Chargemaster and just re-zero frequently. The long term plan would be to save enough money for an FX120 and sell the CM on the PX when the time came.

When you say frequently, like ever 20 or so measure?
My RCBS Pocket is needed to be recalibrated literally after every load, and even then it's -.1, lift the pan and replace, +.2
Absolutely no way of knowing what correct.

Thank y'all looks like fx120 or chargemaster until fx120 is viable.

I would re-zero anytime I had to step away. I also would re-zero every 20 charges when running them.

It's a little over the $300 mark, but works really well. Very sensitive. It will pick up the addition of a single kernel of H4350.

Honestly, just get a AD120
They are worth it and you will be glad you did. If you can't get one right now save the money and do it. It doesn't take that long to save enough to get a good scale and considering the cost of this hobby, I think everyone here can save enough to get one. The creedmore is also a good scale just not as fast. One or the other for sure, I'd leave that other stuff alone because it just isn't worth it. Creedmore works with new IP set up too Jmo
