$30-35 scale, that is accurate as my $500 auto scale. Great for when just want to load a few rounds for load development. Checking bullet weights, or arrow building component weights. Using this scale I can have 5 rounds loaded before I even have my large scale calibrated.

For the price, this is an outstanding tool, and a great compliment to any reloading bench. For moderate loads it measures dead on to what my beam scale reads, deviating a small but consistent 1/10th grain lower reading as I approach an 82 grain load- or higher. I would not use this as a stand alone for precision rifle loads, as it does creep and need to be tared a few times as it warms up. It also has a tendency to "stick" if you use a trickler, and then "jump" several tenths at a time, often resulting in a higher-than-target charge. I do often use mine to weigh pistol loads, AR loads, 450 Bushmaster, etc. as I have grown to trust its ability to read accurately within a few tenths of a grain, which is good enough for those rounds. I also use it as a quick check to verify loads that I've measured on the beam scale, as the beam has gotten "stuck" once or twice while using the trickler as well. Also works great for weight sorting bullets. It can be sensitive to item placement on the scale; You can introduce a few tenths or error by lightly placing the load, versus a more direct application of the load. As long as you are consistent, the scale will be too. For ~$40 it's a steal, just understand what you're getting.
Pros:
- Cheap
- Portable
- convenient
- Fairly Accurate
- Fast response time

This scale works flawlessly as LONG as you don't use it for hours on end. It heats
up and loses its ability to measure accurately. Also, if the scale is stored in a hot
room, don't expect to turn it on and be able to make precise measurement. It won't
do it.
^..^~~
Cons:
- Cannot do the job for hours on end.
Best Used for:
- Best used in an air conditioned room.
Would recommend: No

I recommend this little DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale to anyone out there who do not want to pay a lot for a digital scale. The only down fall I do not like about this Digital Scale is that it automaticly turn off early while I am still using it.

You can spend a lot of money on a scale or not. I would suggest NOT. This is the best darned little scale you could ask for at a great low price. Agrees to the 1/10th grain with my balance scale. Fast readings, easy to use, compact. I was sceptical that a $30 scale could be any good. Have no fear. A great purchase.

The scale is exactly what it is advertised. It is accurate, quick & easy to use! The included instructions are clear and easily followed. I checked it with a set of certified "check weights" and the values are dead on!
As soon as I received the scale, I immediately began to use it!! I checked the values on an RCBS/Ohaus beam scale & the difference in weights was nil! But what an improvement in speed! The scale takes up very little room on my bench, which is great!! It is also small enough to be portable & requires very little space for storage! It is quick, accurate & easy to use. What more can a person ask?
Based upon my experience, I would definitely recommend it to a friend! It does the job!
Pros:
- accurate,holds zero,crisp clear image

no need to spend big bucks on a scale these work just fine after my rcbs scales gave up the ghost (after many years of service)I purchased a set of ds-750 digital reloading scales from planet optics to check my powder weights, they are top shelf, very accurate, don't take up much room on the reloading bench and easy to read for old eyes I have checked them out for accuracy with my rcbs 505 beam scales often and they perform very well every time.....
Pros:
- compact, handy, and inexpensively priced.
- compact and accurate

I thought I would buy this scale as a backup to my balance scale. Turns out, it's become my primary. It's every bit as accurate as my balance scale and is easier to read, especially for us old guys. It's well worth the money and makes reloading a pleasure.
Pros: Inexpensive, accurate, easy to read display
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
