    Yes, Echo, I know I made a mistake. It was corrected in post #15 which you would have seen had you read the thread.

    Speaking of scales.
    What’s the smallest beam.
    10-10 10-05 the only ones that come with a pack away container?
    I have a Lyman d7 I’ve used for 35 years but would like a nice small travel one.
    Any thoughts

    OK! I'm interested in a digital scale. I've seen many posts that condemn them and many in this thread that indicate they are the only thing to use.

    Obviously, there are scales and then there are scales the really work. Name some that really work.

    I have the gem pro 250 its a very good scales for around $100.00. Reads in 5 scales. Read out is backlighted and reads to .02 grains. Has a built in cover comes with carry case and operates on batteries or ac. Mine has been very good over the last 5 years of use.

    stick with a brand name rcbs, pact, lyman, Hornady ect and youll get a good scale. I think most of the negitives come from the more frugal here that want good equipment cheap and buy pro 1000s and scales off of ebay. if you have only 20 bucks your better off with a lee beam scale. If you have only 75 your probably better off with a lower line rcbs, lyman or Hornady. When you get to around a 100 bucks and up you can buy a good serviceable digital scale. I think too some bad opinions of them came from when they were relatively new and some had teething pains.
