Hello Sixer,
A good, reliable digital scale for $60? My opinion; no way.

You'll need to think about investing a little more to get the features you need for reloading. Forget the balance beamers. Instead, invest in a good quality digital machine; one that will last. Here is a link to one little unit I recently ordered. It's a gem of a machine so far; having a lot of features found on much more expensive units. Adjustable AUTO timer is one. Most of the cheaper units are factory set to go off after only a minute or two. It's aggrevating! Plus, you can choose to use batteries, or plug in. The adapter comes with the unit. Included is a lifetime/15 year warranty! Dillon's Terminator has a one year warranty; and not 1/3 of the features! Ask me how I know.

I came back, after reading some of the other posts to add; the GemPro is designed for weighing gems, or for reloading. The display goes to .001 and beyond. Most digitals read in .01. IMO, readings of .001 are much more precise.

Good luck on your decision!
