Frankford Arsnel(FA) hits the mark again with the Digital Reloading Scale(DRS). I have been using a traditional beam ballance scale for the last 35+ years. When properly set-up beam balances are dead-on and reliable. On the otherhand digital scales are easier easier and faster to use but they have draw backs. (i.e.circuitry, processors, batteries etc etc) . So, here is the dope on the FA DRS. It comps to my beam balance to within +/- 0.1 grain. And that variance is consistant in test sampling more than 100 pre-weighed rounds. +/- One tenth grain is well within reason and considering the attributes and price of this item it is great as a back up and verifcation unit. My reason not using it for my primary scale my personal bias based extensive experience using a balance beam scale and skepticism with electronic devices. Lasatly the FA DRS kit includes everything needed (including a weight standard) for the reloading porcess.
Pros: Easy to use, versitile, includes pan for weighing powder an weight standard
Cons: Be prepared to check the tare (zero) as the unit can occasionally gain and lose zero
