Don't know if I'm just being a stubborn ol'fogie stuck in the 20th Century but I just can't bring myself to completely trust the new electronic scales.
A few years ago I bought a cheapie Chinese electronic scale of off Ebay. The price was right and I got exactly what I paid for. It rounds out the weight to .0 or .5 which is fine for weighing lead boolits but if I want a powder load for example 25.2 or 25.7. The scale will read 25.0, 25.5 or 26.0. Not a real big deal as I load nearly everything on the low side but if I wanted to load say a belted mag to max I just can't rely on the electronic scale.
I have three balance scales. Much as I hate to admit it. Using RCBS check weights, the pain in the donkey to use, cheapie Lee scale is now the most accurate. I have no complaints about my older Pacific and Ohaus scales, I more than got my money's worth. The Pacific I bought new about 1975. The Ohaus I got used about 20 years ago. Both units have provided years of accurate readings and reliable service but have seen their better days and have simply worn out. About 12 years ago a now deceased machinist friend sharpened the blades on both units. Both worked fine for years and zeroed easily. The accuracy has been declining and the ability to stay zeroed has become difficult.
I've been considering moving into the 21st Century buying a name brand electronic scale. Have any recommendations? Any horror stories with an electronic scale? Should I modernize or just find a reliable balance scale. Please share your experience with electronic scales, your opinion or speculation either good, bad or indifferent will be appreciated.
