Good electronic scale?

[zarosfaltor]

Looking for a good electronic scale for reloading and happened to see the RCBS RangeMaster 750 has decent reviews and isn't super expensive. Does anyone have any experience with this scale or have any other recommendations?

The Frankford Arsenal is cheap and accurate. No complaints.

I always recommend the Dillon digital scale. Superb scale for the money.

I have used the Rangemaster 750 for over a year now and have had ZERO problems.

It holds it's zero well, I only occasionally need to re-zero the pan. As with all digital scales, you need to work in a still area as they will register drafts.

It works with a trickler but (!) you cannot trickle from zero. Dump at least 5gr of powder in, let it show the weight before trickling more powder. I usually use the DC power but it also runs on a 9 volt. I have never had any digital scale be affected by the usual FUD of electronic interference and similar mumbo-jumbo that the beam users put forth.

If you want a REALLY good digital and have money to spend, check this link and call to see if they still have any VIC-123 available. $300. http://scalesgalore.com/acculab_vicon_scales.htm This is a laboratory-quality scale that measures to .02gr.
Acculab was recently purchased by another company, the replacement for the VIC-123 is over $500.

Very lucky for you!

I have had nothing but bad luck with a Pact II for years. There is a lot that bothers it, from wireless phone use to florescent lighting to dirty power.

Each is different though and possibly technology, albeit not to much beyond my Pact II, has advanced. Perhaps they are better now.

Oh, also there is nothing wrong with beam scales.

+1 on the 750

I went ahead and picked up the complete chargemaster with powder dispenser. It is a real nice unit. When I need to further refine the powder charge, I re-weigh it on a VIC 123 unit to measure to a hundredth of a grain. Works perfectly!
