I had a similar cheap scale and finally ponied up and got a Gem Pro 250.

Buy once cry once.

Buy it. Get some calibration weights to verify the accuracy. If you can't find them maybe someone on the board can lend you a set.

I bought a cheap digital scale when I finally got tired of my beam scale. It is very accurate, at least it reads the same as my beams.

I use my cheap digital scale a lot but I regularly verify it's accuracy with calibration weights. My scale came with one, maybe this one does also. I also bought a set of RCBS calibration weights.

I use a Lee Pro Auto Disk almost exclusively, so when I want to run a batch of a certain load I install the disk that I need. A quick check with the scale to verify and I'm off.

Nothing wrong with cheap. I have an old triple beam scale that I bought 30 years ago for $5 from a hippy neighbor that was having a garage sale. She told me that she used it to weigh out food portions for her cats. Riiiiight. If it makes you feel better you can always tell your buddies that you paid more than you really did.

^^ Good advice.

I have a separate digital one (with calibration weights) but things sometimes get pushed around on the reloading table. I figured having one or two extra around incase I misplace my other one might be worth considering for only $10.

I wouldn't recommend it as your 1st scale.
Spend the money and buy a good balance beam scale. As stated earlier--Buy once cry once.

Agree. Buy the RCBS 505 or Dillon's Eliminator (same exact thing as the RCBS), they are both manufactured by OHAUS.

Secondly, I have a cheap Hornady digital scale, powered by batteries like that one. It has an auto shut off feature, which makes it pretty much useless IMO. I use it for quick checks of weight when I am throwing powders etc. Comes in handy, but definitely not something for constant use. It's also useless if you are trickling.

I also use a Hornady Autocharge for rifle work, it's a great tool.

I have used a jeweler's scale before, but ended up with Dillon scale.
