I just ordered one and it came in yesterday. I have not had a chance to try it out yet but the reviews were good. I will try to post back on my experience with it once I get a chance to use it.

Yes I have one. The weight is very close to the Lee Safety scale I have. Easy to use. Comes with a calibrated weight and a liitle pan. I keep mine in the house at room temp until I need it. I like it.

I've had one for a year or so and I have no complaints. It was inexpensive and works great. I've checked it against a Lee Powder Scale and it's right on as far as accuracy.

I dont mean to hijack this thread, but VERT could you please tell me about the Sandcreek Conservation Club. I found some old post by you about it and I am curious if it is still active.

 

[VERT]

Yes very active. Meetings are first Wed of the month.

 

[jimbobcooters]

Cool thank you, I plan on attending next month. Around what time?

I have had that scale for about a year now and some times it can be a pain to get calibrated to the weight .

I've got one.

It's ok but I wouldn't rely on it for absolute precision and repeatability.

Like all scales it works best when it's on a level surface and, like all digital scales, it is best on a marble slab and with an anti-vibration pad.

The plus or minus .1 grain accuracy is actually more like .2 according to my MAC 20.

It's a cheap digital scale so I don't believe we should expect too much from it.

Compared to other inexpensive digital scales in that price range I prefer the Frankford. I have had one for over a year now and no complaints other than it does seem to drain batteries fast.

I have used the Frankford Arsenal scale for a couple of years now. I tried it because every other electronic ( read affordable electronic scale ) that I have tried were junk. The Piece of **** that was an integral part of my DP auto dispenser was the worst of all, it made using the thing impossible. I check weights with the FA scale every few loads and also double check at longer intervals with my manual Redding scale. I will get another FA if this one starts to go south.

I owned that scale briefly and hated it. That scale simply would not hold zero for me, and when your goal is accuracy, that's not good. In a child like fit of rage I threw it against my basement floor and ended its miserable existence. I quickly upgraded to a RCBS Rangemaster 750 scale and couldn't be happier with it.

I have had one for a couple of years. I have used it off and on and to check my beam scales. It has worked fine and is accurate.

Just used mine again today. Used three scales, RCBS, LEE safety and the Frankford digital. All three were with 0.1 grains.
