Digital Scale

I bought this one a year or so back and it's proven to be truly amazing. First off it's got larger numbers than many other options so it's "old guy eyes" friendly. Second is that it remembers the last units used so I don't need to trip through to set it to grains every time like some others. And finally it holds zero well over a good length of time. Again this is something that some others just don't manage to do. It's by far the nicest cheap digital I've used out of four others that have turned out to be a PITA or just gone dark.

In fact I think I'm going to order another as a spare due to liking the one I've got so much.

Being that this particular seller is in Hong Kong it means that Canada Post will deliver it right to your door or mailbox. So no nasty surprises with US sellers using FedEx or UPS.

Hummm, that's dirt cheap. I might pick one up as a backup for my backup. Thanks for the heads up on these. How long do the batteries last?

Just ordered it, the price was too good to pass up.

Over a year so far and still ticking. Of course it depends a bit on how often you use it and what you use it for weighing. For loading with the progressive it's only used at the beginning of a session to double check the weight. For rifle work it's on for weighing 50 rounds at a time.
 
My smallest load is 1.5gr, the largest is 4gr - I use the Gempro 250 (reads to 0.02gr) - the trick (I think) is to keep it switched on all the time. When shooting, I can really tell 1.0gr from 1.5 and 1.9gr. The Gempro dials it in to where I want. Also - check out unique tek - they have a micrometer screw on the dillon (and probably other) powder measures (but you can make one for $20 instead - just ebay our friends in China...). Remember that you need relative not absolute mass - so I think the accuracy is there (just keep it powered on)

I've only been using the FX120 for a couple of months but I'm blown away by how fast and stable it is. I'll stand by my previous statement that GemPro is a great value, but if you can swing the $500 then the FX120 is worth picking up.

No experience with the GemPro but I am really impressed with the FX-120i. I was lucky and got it on sale from Cambridge for $400.00. I know, still a lot of money but it really seems like a good machine.
 
If you want an accurate scale that saves on reloading time since doesn't jump from every little interference and doesn't need frequent recalibrating, FX-120i is where it starts.
It's nice to not feel under scaled. Everything below that may get the job done, but its not the same.

+1 I will have to try this to see if mine settles down.. I orderd some little core filters to see if it helps
 
Thanks BCRider! I ordered that baby as a backup as well.

Cheers,
