I am thinking of buying an electronic scale for use at home and at the range. I just want something that is reliable at the .1 gr. level of accuracy. I have tried several scales, that belong to friends, and so far, the one that is a part of the Chargemaster seems to do the best job, but I am looking for something that is battery powered. In looking around on the internet, I have come across favorable reports on the Dillon D-Terminator. What do you know about this scale?
 
Best digital reloading scale for many years, and very hard to find. Keep in mind that the 'NEW DILLON D-TERMINATOR' is no more than a cheap knock-off of the original. Not the same animal.

But these days I use the CM1500, as it's as good as the original Dillon in every respect.
If you decide you want the real deal Dillon, I'd part with mine cheap.
 
i have one(older)...it driffs off zero easy...cause's one to re-scale stuff.

good enough for brass sorting and cast bullet sorting, but not what i would use in br.

I have had mine for awhile and it malfunctioned and was replace by Dillon. Both of them would drift.

I have had my Dillon for about 4 years now. I use batteries and it seems to lessen the drift. Someone told me about always hit the zero button before I pour in the powder and it seems to help a lot. Wanted a better scale to measure out to .01 grain but Denver instrument does not sell a battery powered 15 volt 100 milliamp battery supply. I was advised against trying to use in a typical loading shed where there are 5 foot fans in the summer for cooling. I took the advice.
My Dillon works very well as I check each charge thrown from my Harrell measure to double check. From what I saw at the Nationals the RCBS works very very well. If you are loading in your mobil home where you can control the breeeze get the Acculab or Denver Instrument.

I have one

using batteries, it drifts so bad I have to rezero every weight. I like the Tanita 1210 much better.
