    The scale on my RCBS Chargemaster is the only electronic scale I trust. I have owned a few cheap ones and wasn't impressed.

    I keep a RCBS balance beam scale to check it and am never disappointed.

    I have one just like that. The zero wanders a bit, but I just re-zero every two or three measures. Works fine.

    So far I have had consistent zero. I still check and double check each measure and sometimes triple check. I can be a little OCD at times.

    I find myself doing the same thing. I also compare my digital scale to my beam scale periodically throughout the reloading process.

    I really hate surprises.

    I've had a bunch of digital scales including the Cabela's unit mentioned earlier. The scales that I like best are the Dillon and the RCBS Chargemaster combined unit.

    I have had a terrible experience with this: "Hornady 050106 G2-1500 Electronic Powder Scale"
    Amazon product ASIN B017S6PPNU

    I wouldnt take one of these for free. I moved from that POS to a RCBS chargemaster lite and my reloading experience has greatly improved. I dont know about any other digital scale but thought I needed to post this warning

    That was my experience with them too. I never could trust that thing. You could weight the same charge three different times and get three considerably different weights for it.

    I'm currently looking into the RCBS Chargemaster or the Lyman equivalent (forgot what it's called).

    My chargemaster lite has made me like reloading again. I highly recommend
