Can anyone recommend a digital scale for measuring powder.  one that can down to 2.7 grains.        I have been checking reviews on amazon but as usual there are many positive and negative.  

Why a digital when a beam scale is simple and usually dead on accurate?

I use this one

It works like it's supposed to. 

 

You have to keep all other electronic stuff at least 4 feet away from it. 

I forgot to add that I currently use a Dillon eliminator that I have been using for about 30 years.   For some reason it will no longer zero.     It does seem to be accurate and linear but I have to set it to .6 grains to get it to zero.   

I wanted a inexpensive digital to check the accuracy of the Dillon.

I have that same scale...what I noticed is any kind of air movement, whether it be from a fan or even a space heater will throw off its reading.Have you changed anything with your reloading area?

It's not cheap but the RCBS chargemaster scale and dispenser is accurate to within 1/10 of a gram. I was just talking to someone that reloads for 2000 yard presicion shooting and that's what he uses.

Beam scales are not scales, they are balances. Scales measure force and are designed approximate it to mass based on your calibration at the place and moment you are taking the measurement. Balances measure mass every time directly, everywhere, everywhere on Earth and even on the Moon, and always determine the same mass.

I think the only one I'd consider is the gempro

I use a RCBS rangemaster 750. Holds zero and have yet to have any issues. Check weights have always read true for me.

gempro 250   read the reviews.

+1 for the Gempro 250. Just be sure to turn it on an hour or so before you use it to let it "warm up" (or leave it on all the time). It is very consistent (as opposed to accurate...I have no way to determine its accuracy) If I drop a powder charge in the pan and pull the pan off the scale, it always returns to the same weight when I re-weigh the pan. Unlike the Hornady GS-1500, which would show 7 different weights over 10 tries.

I use the gempro 250. Love it. When you consider its accuracy its actually not expensive. The only other scales I would recommend are the Jennings.I don't trust these rebranded reloading scales.

I've had no problems with my Frankford Arsenal DS-750. I must admit that I also have an RCBS beam scale to check compare with the Frankford. Can't be too careful.

I used the Hornady Gs-1500 until I got their automated powder trickler. Worked fine.

Battery power or wall wart? A whole mess of people have had issues with some of the dillon scales unless running just on battery due to line noise.
