      That scale should be good to 750 gr?
      At least that's what RCBS claims.
      The RangeMaster 750 Scale measures to +/- 1/10th of a grain up to 750 grains. The compact and lightweight design makes storage and transport easy and adjustments can be made quickly on the easy to read touch pad. Measures in either grains or grams and features a large, easy to read display.

        I have the Dillon Terminator scale - works good for me.

          750grains = approx 50 GRAMS. sorry, i wasnt too specific. i guess "gr" could be grains or grams to those who cant read my mind...

              Don't know about the others but my Chargemaster has worked out great. Very consistant, every now and then there may be a throw that is over but then you just dump it back in and throw another one.

                    I have the Lyman 1200DPSII (w/ DPS III conversion kit) and have since shelved ALL my old scales & powder measures (except for an RCBS 5-0-5 to confirm accuracy of DPS & RCBS UNI-FLOW which is on my PRO-2000 progressive). I know, it is a scale AND a dispenser...........but once you try one, you'll be hooked for life.

                      I have the Pact Dispenser/Scale combo. Works great, just be sure to use surge protector & let it warm up.

                        I used to stay up all night loading for High Power Rifle matches. I graduated from a balance beam to a PACT electronic scale. That helped, but then I upgraded to a RCBS Chargemaster Combo. The best thing since soft ice cream. You won't be disapointed, and our dollar is only losing value.

                          I just bought a Rangemaster 750, and it works great. Remember, you need to let it warm up for 20-30 minutes before using. Battery function shuts down after 5 minutes. I use A/C only. Every once in a while, I double check on my 10/10, spot on.
