Hi,
Looking for suggestions on a set of digital scales for my reloading bench, I don't have any other set this will be my first.
Budget max is around £60 and would like something accurate as I'm a newbie when it comes to reloading
Thanks

Re: Powder Scales
for £60 nothing digital worth having, for that money get a second hand balance beam scale, cant go wrong with them
You will need £250-£300 minimum for anything digital

Re: Powder Scales
I tried a "borrowed!" expensive digital scale a few years ago. It suffered from a "wandering zero" problem. I gave it back and stuck with my 40 year old RCBS 505 beam.

Re: Powder Scales
I have a set of mtm scales. I won't use them for powder but batching bullets / brass or Checking complete rounds they are fine.

Re: Powder Scales

Re: Powder Scales
Your first purchase should be a set of beam scales any make except Lee. Do not buy lee scales.

Cheers guys will get a set of RCBS balance scales, might have to push the budget out a bit but it sounds like it's worth it.
