Upgrading from Lee safety scales

[Josh89]

I'm looking to get something a little better. I just don't care for the numbers painted on the scale and it just seems somewhat inaccurate. Just looking for some suggestions on a new set.

Been using an Ohaus scale for close to 30 years now. I'd say it's good to go.

RCBS scales are bullet proof, I acquired a used one that's probably 30 years old and it is dead accurate.

Check these out.

I would trust RCBS as well.

I have a brand new Lee Safety scale I got with the Turret kit and the box was only opened once then closed and packed away....

I used one of the little Lee scales for quite a while. They are really slow but it was always accurate, I upgraded when I found an rcbs scale in an antique store for $10. The RCBS is plenty fast and precise for most work, it is also what I would recommend.

Now I use an electronic, the RCBS chargemaster. Really makes it easy to work up loads. If you do get an electronic scale, don't buy a cheap one, they are not worth it.

I have been using a Dillon Dillon's 'Eliminator' Scale (13480): Reloading: Powder Scales at Dillon Precision for the past 6 years. I also finally got rid of the Lee, it was a pain to set. Night and day.

I discovered my scale was lying to me years ago and replaced it with a decent
Jennings digital scale that weighs in grains. www.jscale.com

To start with I had a Lyman nearly identical to the one Dizzyj mentioned. At some point I was given an RCBS digital scale and a couple of higher end beam scales. I sold the Lyman and an RCBS beam, but kept the RCBS digital and the Ohaus 10-0-5 beam.
I very rarely use the digital. Until I have a digital scale that reads to the hundredth, I feel the beam is more accurate.
This is what I have and recommend.
