Digital Scales?

[lar45]

I ran across a place that I can get small digital scales for a cheap price. They weigh in grains with .1 grain accuracy. Price could be in the $20ish range. They want a minimum order of 100. I'm looking to see if I could split the order with a friend who has a store in town.
The one that I looked at was sensitive enough that you could blow on it and get readings.
They also weigh in ounce and grams.
there is a few different models that might work for loading.
If there is any interest, I'll see what a firm price would be and get some pics to post.

Wat is the maximum weight they will weigh ?? for that price I would be very interested in one for.....

1. Weighing things over 500 grains which my reloading scale will not do

2. sorting brass and boolits by weight.


one other way to check sensitivity is to weight a piece of paper, then write something on it and weight again, a reloading scale will measure the weight of the pencil lead on the paper.

I would be interested depending on range. Gianni.

UP to 1300 grains. Anything higher than that and the resolution is +- 1 grain.

I purchased a scale from MEADOWPINES on ebay. Cost me about $50.00 total. Not as good as my RCBS 10-10 beam scale for power trickling, but for weighing gas checks, primers, boolits, cases and loaded rounds works just fine and it's real fast. Can be recalubrated if ya overload it. Go to ebay, click on buy, put in 4983954661 and hit search. Should bring it up for you to look at.

lar45,

Will they work AC/DC? What's the footprint size on my bench?

Sound very interesting at that price. Brother has a Lyman, I think, and I've been impressed.

Lars,
For ~ $20, I'd be in. Sounds good. I still believe that you can't beat gravity for consistency and accuracy,,, but for brass, boolits,,,, etc.,,,,,, would be ideal.

I'm in for one.

[AnthonyB]

I'd take one at that price.

Im in for one! and I will a few local casters as well, and will update this post. Buck

Lar, I'd be in for a scale like that, too. The price tag on digital reloading scales has kept me away thus far, but for 20 bucks, you bet!

[buck1]

Do you know who made them. Are spare parts available? Is
there a warranty? Place to send the scale to if there is a problem?

Thanks, ....buck

[lar45]

They are made by MyWeigh, they have a 30 year warranty and US service center. I just got the catalog and I'm looking through for different ones that would be useable. They have some calibration weights also. Some models come with them and others don't.
The first one that I was looking at had a typo in the specs. It only weighs to .2gns. There are others that go to .1gn though.
I'm trying to finish up some school projects to graduate this spring, but I am continueing to work on it.
I'll keep you updated.

Lars,
I for one would be more than happy with that kinda' resolution, +/- .2 grain, for that kinda' price. For brass and bullets and non critical charges,,,, more than adequate IMO.

Ps. www.myweigh.com , which model were you thinking of Lars? They look good!

[Bigscot]

You can put me down for at least one. Maybe 2.

The ultraship looks good too, any idea what they cost?

I got the Ultraship 50 for around $30 delivered. Very good scale.

Dealer price on the Ultra ship 50 is $23. so $30 shipped isn't that bad. Where did you get yours from. maybe it would be easier to go through a dealer and get a few instead of ordering 100 and trying to find homes for them.

It sounds pretty good to me; my scale is pretty weak.
