Competition Pocket Scales

[333smitty]

My current scale that has served me so well in past has went on the blink and I am looking for a worthy replacement.

Does anyone know of a reliable go to scale that they would recomend for competition?

Thanks,

Vic

I like the Dillion scales. I use them for Competion and general reloading. Plus the price is right

(opps..my bad)
the dillon is less than your beam scale..it is plus or minus 0.1 in .1 steps..the beam will indicate when even a slight off from middle
do a search on "scale" or "scales"
and run thru those threads there was a small compact for about 150 or so that "seemed" to be a good product....

Ditto on the Dillon scale. 4 AA batteries last a year or you can plug in the adapter.
Every load goes over my Dillon. Cut a piece of heavy paper to place over the hole in the breeze shield and the unit settles at once.

Suggest you try TANITA 1210 N or new model 1230 N, at Miniscales price US $204,00 IMHO by far the best miniscale for our purpose. Carlos

PACT.......PACT......PACT
Because they are accurate.
Because they are made in USA. Grand Prairie Texas is still in USA, right?
Because I believe they make the Dillon.
Because if you choose to go with a dispenser at a later date the PACT dispenser will work in conjunction with their scale.

Michael:
Our PACT scale was/is an old one. When they came out with the dispenser they adapted our scale to accept the dispenser at no charge and had it back to us in a very short time. I have nothing but praise for them.

Had to send a PM, Joe as the e-mail address in your profile wouldn't go through.

Can you believe this Mike bashing a company and his post hasn't been deleted?

Quite often, some of the inexpensive scales on Ebay will be very good for not much money. It requires a known good scale to compare them to however. For instance, I bought one of those Postal Scales to weigh my guns, etc on here at home. As it turns out, it is always Dead Nuts when weighing certified test weights.

In my opinion, a Pocket Scale should be inexpensive enough so that when it crumps it won't be painful to throw away and inexpensive enough to, perhaps, withstand the purchase of two or three to get a reliable one.

Vic, I've been using the Jennings JSVG20 for a couple of seasons. It works well, has a lot of nice features and is small enough to fit in a loading box. Back-to-back testing with my tuned up beam scale and a lab grade scale gave good results. It can't weigh to the .0000001th of a grain , but it doesn't need to for my use.

Here's a link...hope this helps. -Al
