Then there are always the normal ones......Dillion, RCBS, Lyman

I like the first one, but its a little more than I wanted to spend.

I just got a little cheap one off of ebay, it has worked fine. I check it with a beam scale every once in awhile to make sure it is accurate but so far so good.

I want one I can plug in - Im tired of batteries

The Lyman 1500 is a nice one. It's around $150 at Cabela's.

Just curious why you aren't looking for one made for reloading? I have a current Dillon that is great, way better than my old one. Large numbers, zeros quickly & can run off batteries or AC.

for about the same money I can get one that has a back light, leveling feet, better resolution, better accuracy, better warranty - just more options.

I have nothing against the normal ones, its just seems like a better deal. I tend to think that once you put the name (Dillion,RCBS ect) on the scale the price goes way up.

I havent ruled out any brand yet.....they have on sale A RCBS 750 for $89.00 at the local store.

I really like the The fist one on my list, it will display 0.02 grains

and has a neat wind cover. Its just hard to justify the money.

I run a Frankford Arsenal electronic scale, that I picked up at midway.

+1 on the FA jeep. I would like to upgrade at some point the FA works good for me now! Only complaint is tha it is quick to shut off if not used. But it is accurate and a bargain. Guess you gotta give some to get some

My Dillon D-Terminator has a plug as well as batteries.

I too had to upgrade. This scale is probably more than any of us need, but for fun check out the Acculab Vicon VIC-123. It is expensive at a little over $200, but very nice with 1852 grain capacity with 2/100 grain sensitivity. Lance at valuescale 1-800-832-0055 ext 206 was very helpful on the phone. I read that these are made in USA.
