It's called the Winstead Peters ACC-2000 Electronic Scale. On sale right now for $100. https://www.berrysmfg.com/product-i14802-c114-g8-b0-p1-Winstead_Peters_ACC_2000_Electronic_Scale.aspx

Lately my RCBS 750 has decided to wander. It always wanders up, never down, so the charges will be lighter rather than heavier. The lee beam scale is less trustworthy because it's inconsistent in both directions. I can't even get the zero set on this thing!

I have a Dillon beam scale coming from Brian Enos, but I do like the speed of a digital scale. I've read sooo many people complaining of wandering e scales of all brands, I'm wondering if the Berry's scale is worthwhile or yet another throw away.

Berry's stands behind their products, and it has a 1 year warranty. You'll know within that year whether or not it works as well as you expect it to, so I'd say "go for it".

I've been using a PACT for several years and it's been very reliable. I just recalibrate it whenever there is a big variation in temperature in my shop, since they are temperature sensitive. It's been so reliable, I've packed away my balance beam scales and don't even use them anymore.

Hope this helps.

There are several outfits that sell those electronic scales with that same black scoop, including Brian Enos. I believe I'd check him and Uniquetek out and compare features and prices.

I think you can find a good scale like it for less than $100.00.

How about this one, also on Brian Enos:

Has a lifetime warranty. The load cell is made in Germany (wow even Germans are still allowed to make stuff!). $135. I just sent them an email to see if they can convince me it's worth a shot.
