RCBS makes some nice ones. They won't measure any more accurate then the Lee, but they are much nicer to work with. - dan
If you can find an old RCBS 5-10 they are awesome. Kind of a cross between a 5-0-5 and 10-10 with the rotary adjustment.
Any RCBS scale though will serve you well.
The only thing I did not like about my Lee scale was the slide adjustment and the fact that the hash marks were all double printed somehow so it was hard to determine exactly where you were setting it. It might have been out .10-.30 which was not accurate enough for me.

Are you thinking of going to an electric scale?
I would think that would be about the best for ease of operation. I've never had one myself but its definitely on the list!

If you are looking at Digital scales from ebay, do some research on that particular brand. You might find they are not that accurate or do not measure in Grains.
I was looking at the 10-10 but it's sold locally at $170.00........
Yes the Lee does the job but not easy to adjust because the plateau has too much room to spin around and does not give the same weight twice in a row.
I've bought a $60.00 electric that runs on internal batteries, I can't do more than 3-4 before it turns itself off, then you must readjust re callibrate etc..

Let me guess Fankford Arsenal micro scale.....yup crap bought one returned it the next day.
I started out with that scale and some dumb movers damaged it. I then bought a used ohaus (RCBS) 5-0-5 and then bought a Dillon digital. I bought it a few years ago up here for well over $200 cdn, now at Cabelas for $134 Us.
Great scale and I find quicker and easier to use than a balance type.

I've been using one with a set of check wieghts for close to 20 years so I guess I must be satisfied with it. I use it to weight all my centre fire charges and I shoot a pile of 17 centre fire and it works fine for me.
Do not know your budget, but the RCBS chargemaster 1500 dispenser-scale combo is the way to go. Cabelas is where I got mine.If you read all the reviews between the RCBS and the Lyman, the RCBS wins hands down for speed of dispensing and is easier to clean at the end. Using power pistol I found that 3x out of 50 it would weight .01 of a grain more .Weighing H-4350 the unit weighs 50 out of 50 bang on.Just my 2 cents.I no longer use my RCBS 5-0-5 scale .
