[vonb]

What do you recommend for a good electronic scale? Something in the $300-600 range.

R CBS charge master there are much better more expensive scales but this one falls in the lower end of your price range and dispenser‘s powder

The RCBS Chargemaster Lite has been a good one for me. Its only had 2 overthrows in the 3 yrs Ive had it. Ive confirmed its weights with a .02 gr resolution scale and the CM lite is within spec

Ohaus Scout SPX123, very similar specs/performance as the FX201i, but at $417 (Amazon)-$429 (H&C Weighing), but it does not have the enclosure and isn't programmed for auto-tricklers. I've been using the Scout for 2 yrs with excellent results, hand trickling. Very stable, but I do have to turn off the HVAC to settle the air in the room (my garage shop). I've taken to using a 100 grain "Fake Zero" to move it away from its "auto-zero".

As the others have said...FX-120i. I feel that you will never be sorry you purchased it. Quick and stable. Simply a joy to use.

Has the option of easily getting a V3/V4 and in itself is an excellent scale

The A&D scale makes Chargemaster look like a dollar store item.

Fx120i. AS SKWERLZ said, you can get an autothrower and auto trickler, and dispense VERY accurate loads , and it is fast. Works great as a simple scale as well.

MY fx120i with an V3 autothroer/trickler, will drop 30 grains of Varget to within .02 grains in 10 seconds consistently. It is accurate and FAST. My chargemaster takes almost twice as long, and is 5X LESS accurate.

I have used the RCBS Chargemaster for over 10 yrs and it has never failed me. Not as expensive as the other ones mentioned above but very reliable and accurate, IMO. I don't need to be accurate to the hundredth of a grain. I get "right on the money" throws from my Chargemaster. I doubt that you could consistency see a .1 gn difference on a target. BUT, if you have the money it doesn't hurt to buy what you can afford.

 

[tthomp302]

Another endorsement for the AND FX120i... I love mine. Makes loading a breeze and super accurate. Have produced several low single-digit SD's with it.

 

[RegionRat]

Nothing wrong with several of the suggestions, but... worth noting that if all other things are equal and you suspect there is ever going to be a downstream interest in using the AutoThrow/AutoTrickler, you should consider that the ADFX120i is compatible and the other ones are not. Just food for thought. Good Luck either way.

The RCBS Chargemaster Lite has been a good one for me. Its only had 2 overthrows in the 3 yrs Ive had it. Ive confirmed its weights with a .02 gr resolution scale and the CM lite is within spec

i strongly disagree, it is sold and performs at 0.1 with errors.
i have two...i have test with multiple powders...
pass
Used for bulk powder loading and for pre load the fx120i

YES YOU CAN..which is why some of us use the fx120i.
the fclas 10 ring is TEN times the size(area) of the benchrest 10 ring.....

for the record the chargemaster and lite are 0.1 advertised accuracy.
the fx120i is 0.02 and had magnetic dampening.....
there is a reason for the cost difference.
each has its place

Yes, maybe @jackieschmidt can chime in on the lite for his use of loading at the range.
