Buy the beam,,without hesitation. Alot more precise and consistant.

I got one of these awhile back and love it! RCBS ChargeMaster Combo a bit pricey... but fast, quick, reliable, speedy powder changes.. ALMOST idiot proof! ( and I should know )

I'll have a full review some day..

:lol: Doohan I can see you are a man with expensive taste in toys.
I unfortunately, don't have the bread to buy one. My next toy will be a good rangefinder so---I must apply some restraint in this area. Anyway, I will be looking forward to your review.

I've owned two PACTs, both had an issue with them, that being giving the same reading time after time! :shock:

I now have an old style Dillon D-Terminator and it's the best I've found. You can sometimes find them on ebay.

It's STILL hard to beat the balance beam scale. I like the Lyman 500 and RCBS 5-0-5 best.

Spit,



I was in need of 2 items... so it really fit the bill. I didnt have a digital scale ( just had my 5-0-5 ) and I needed a good powder measure.

I could have easisly spent the same $ buying an RCBS mechanical powder measure and a pact digi scale..

:lol: OK, for a minute there I thought you said BEAM :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is interesting. I had(and still have) a Beam type and went to Digital. Never realized so many had trouble with the Digitals. I musta got lucky and got me good one! :lol:

One thing one may do to make your digital more consistant is to turn it own 30 minutes or so before weighing items. Many of them need to "warm up" a little before use.

And don't stand on them.

hey Spitpatch are you confused yet? :shock: I've been looking for a scale too. I was'nt sure which one to buy. After all that I'm really lost. I think I'll start with a beam scale since there cheaper, I guess if that was the wrong way to go I'll have to up grade to electronical later. Atleast then I'll have a back up just incase.

JD....I mentioned to a friend that I needed a scales and he just gave me one he had sitting around. :shock:

Its a Redding Beam scale.Slow but works great. Goes to 500 or so grains. I'm amazed at the weight differences of XTP 250's.

Jon,

I have a 5-0-5 you can use till you "NEED" to buy one! I am not using it at the moment..

Plus, if you like... I can pre-measure about 50 or so loads of N110 or 5744 for ya.. ..

Or .. just buy a set of lee dippers for about $6 and forget the scales for now.. I have the savage set you can have as well...



This Saturday, I will go over all this with you and let you see your options.

If I was going to get a digital scale only, I would get a Dillon Terminator.. seems nice..

Well I have to say it's digital 100% for me. I've used the balance or beam scales and while they work fine it's a much slower task. I have had absolutely no problems with my RCBS digital scales and I get the job done in a third of the time.

I have a Lyman digital that I like except for the slow warm up.
