Electronic Scale
I am interested in your recommendations and opinions on what is the best scale for loading at the range, checking brass/bullet weights, etc. This electronic scale needs to be small enough to store in a range box compartment and be accurate to a tenth of a grain. I have used a Dillon Determinator in the past with good results, but it suddendly went "south" on me. Just curious as to what you guys would recommend to me for consideration or should I just buy another Determinator ?
Thanks for any info !

Have you talked to Dillon about having yours repaired or replaced? I tend to stick with what has worked for me.

Talk to Dillon first.

I had one of the early Dillon's & it too went south. They sent me a new one for $75 & it is far better than the early model. Holds zero perfectly w/ repeatable readings. It has large number display & needs little warm up time. I have tried soe of the cheaper brands & they just are all over the place, won't hold a zero or just not repeatable.

Thanks everybody. Just talked to Dillon and they will take the dead scale plus $85 for a new one. I just might take them up on this deal. I like the scale.
