| I Have the 505 and like it very well. Easy to set and read! I have a certified weight and it is very close to the mark.

+1 on the Dillon Eliminator. I think it's $49, too.
I have the Lee Safety Scale and I can tell you it is accurate and repeatable (I have checkweights), but it just gets stuck too often. I find myself always fiddling with it to make sure it swings, and although then it is unerring, I finally got fed up with it.
The Dillon Eliminator is fantastic. I know you can spend more, but I don't know why anyone would. It's the last scale I hope to buy.

RCBS. 505
I’ve had mine for over twenty worry free years. It is spot on. I still use it today but find myself using my RCBS 750 digital scale. Picked it up about a year ago. I was so old school that I didn’t want to give it a try. Well, I am sold on it now. Very easy to weigh brass and bullets with.

I use the 505 as well .
I will eventually get a electronic 750 for weighing my cast bullets, although I have seen some cheap electronic scales on E-Bay, and I am curious as to the quality. Has anyone taken the bait and bought a no name scale?

I currently have two digital scales, one is the PACT with the powder dispenser, the other is a Franfurt Arsenal when they were on sale at Midway for $25.00. I am think of adding another beam balance to my collection, which will be a Dillon.
Out here in the country side, I like being able to do things even when the electric maybe out, but so far in 4 years the power has been off twice and no more than an hour at a time. But then again I have a Geny for those times to keep the frezzer cold and the furnace running if it is cold outside.
If worse comes to worse, I have my Lee Hand Press and several dies sets to use with it. I think we are too dependant on technology these days.
