[QUOTE="Donald, post: 1243266, member: 5934"] I first bought one of the el cheapo models on ebay, about $20. Was Ok but was battery powered only and did not have a wind cover. Drifted real bad. Finally I dropped it, now it only says "hello". Trashed it. Next bought a Lyman, I think it was either the 750 or 1000. It was nice, got it from BassPro. Nice hinged wind cover but it would not hold zero. Took it back after about 25 days. Many friends suggested a different scale, an Acculab 232 I think. Cost over $200. But I did a lot of research and found that almost all digital scales weighing unit is built in China except some of the really high priced lab scales. Finally I found one that seemed to fit my requirements. It has a hinged cover and does not drift hardly at all. Almost all these scales will drift a bit if you just leave the item to be weighed on the pan. But they settle down really quick. Most have to be re-zeroed or re-tared every so often. are sensative to RF and flourescent lights and wind. I can just pass my hand over mine and it will go all over the place. But when I check the zero it is spot one. I also had it checked against a very very expensive lab grade scale. Mine was was of only about .003 gram off. Close enought for me. This is the scale I finally settled on. [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/30-x-0-002-gram-Reloading-Scale-Scaleco-Model-138-/250620657486?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0[/url] I called the guy direct and talked to him. He even thru in a 110 adapter. I am pleased with this scale. But these type of scales are very sensative, the price you pay for accuracy. Donald [/QUOTE]
