thanks dimmer- your post has motivated me to test my scales against each other- run new wiring to my fx120, and remove the flourescent lites over it. i have a couple lyman m5- an fx120- a digital that was sold by grizzly and a kitchen digital - well see what happens.I have the Creedmoor TRX-925 and I love it.
However, sometimes when I go up north to the cabin, I have the itch to do some reloading. Or sometimes a friend and I get together at his house to do some reloading. I'd rather not carry around the bigger scale. In fact, I'll say I will not carry it around, just don't want to mess with that for casual reloading. So I'm looking for a reliable, $100 or less scale. The problem is, the market is flooded with cheap digital scales that are absolute crap. I have no way of knowing which is good (if there are any) and what is trash.
I'm good with a scale that has a resolution of +/- 0.05 grains or something that only shows the tenth of a grain. What I'm more picky about is drift. I just want all of my loads at XY.Zgrs to all be the same weight and not drift up an down. Some have liked the gempro 250 (some abhor it), but that's no longer available. I have the frankford arsenal scale, but that drifts bad.
I will be traveling with the check weights for the TRX-925. They are "three F-1 class calibration weights (2g, 10g 50g). These precision grade weights are machined from stainless steel, and each come in its own protective storage case." So these three weights I will have in my kit to use as calibration tools.
Do you guys have any suggestions on a small portable scale that has very little drift?
