Was looking at amazon digital micro scales to replace my broken lee scale. Would like to know if anyone had any experience with them and which model would be up to the trick?
 
i needed something quick as my scale died so i ordered a DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale from amazon and it seems accurate enough, and consistent for my needs.

I compared one against my Dillon and there was zero difference over several different charge weights, as long as I used the same standard weight for checking, supplied with the Dillon.

Excellent scale for the price.

After testing the one above, I ordered one for myself. It came under the "MTM" heading and seems to be a generic product, offered by several different companies.

So shop a bit as they price the same procuct differently, when under a different name.
 
Similar experiences to the above, cheap digital scales seem to work well, much better than expected.

I'd recommend also getting and regularly using a quality set of check weights.

And during use, regularly check for drift and static issues.
 
Frankford Arsenal DS-750 is excellent for very small batch reloading needs.

I always use that in conjunction with an RCBS beam scale M1000, and so far, I have observed absolutely no difference in weight.
 
The JSR is taking "cheap" to extremes.

Not only that, I believe its maximum weight limit is 100 grains.

Any scale I've worked on, with such light load parameters, will be affected by any air movement, including your breathing to close or over it, fans of any sort just distort their readings constantly.
 
I use "Smart Weigh Premium" scale from Amazon, it's very consistent with my Lyman auto-thrower. I do re-zero it every 10 loads or so though, because they tend to drift bit by bit if I trickle powder in or out. But they only cost $40, so I'm not complaining at all.
