I bought this unit about two years ago as a back up for my old school power scale. I have done several hundred hand loads with this scale and its perfect. Simple to CAL, just make sure the batteries are good and your ready to go
Excellent size, the plastic cover protect the controls and display. The carrying case is a little odd given the calibration weight and pan is included, but overall worth the money and time. The 750 capacity is above 500 grains. Large than 1000 grains the price goes why too high.
I purchased the Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Digital Reloading scale in Nov. 2016. It is a great little scale and seems to be very accurate. When I am not using it, I take the batteries out. I am loading .223 Remington at this time and will be loading 9mm Luger pretty soon. I use a RCBS 5.0.5 beam scale to double check the measurement and it is spot on. You can pay more for a digital scale, but why? The DS-750 is great scale and I would recommend it.
Small and simple to use. Easily select between ounce, gram and grain. Accurate and easy to read. Hinged cover keeps dust off scale when not in use. Comes with pouch as well and 50 gram calibration weight. Exceeded expectations.
Works just as expected. Safety 1st when doing ammo reloading. This will make sure "each" load has been done correctly an NOT over loaded causing damage to ME or my weapon of choice.
Been reloading alot of years. In all that time (and over 1M rnds) the scale I used the most is the DS 750. tried others and went right back.
This scale is very nice and is very compact. It comes with the batteries, just pull the tab that protects the battery from making contact. The case is nice because it has 2 sections, one for the pan and weight and one for the scale, so things don't get scratched and damaged. This should work very nice for my reloading needs.
I purchased this as a backup and it won't measure correctly. I've had issues with it not reading correctly. I have replaced the batteries, kept it clear from any wind disruptions to get a precise measurement. I can place a charge weight on it, lift the pan off for a few seconds and place it back on and it will read .2 or .3 grains high or low. I can do this several times and maybe the second or third time it will finally read the initial weight. I should have taken the subpar reviews on this item a little more serious. Hate to be “that dude” who leaves a low review.
I have used this scale to load hundreds of rounds. It's good for finding what your load is from your dispenser, but don't ask any more from it for that. It's incredibly slow to adjust and because of that, trickling up is an arduous task because it is so slow that you can overcharge quite easily. If you're shooting for 31gr for example, it will get to 39, and then if you don't wait like 10 seconds after you drop a kernel, you might go to 31.1. And then you have to dump a few kernels out and it will show you're back at 30.7. It is just all over the place with consistency. It will move .3gr between just picking up and setting your cup down without adding anything to it. I wouldn't recommend this scale for ANYTHING precision or small loads where .1gr can make a large difference. I cannot wait to not use this scale when my new one comes in
I've had this scale about six weeks and use it measure powder charges. It doesn't hold zero or +/- 0.1gn. It varies as much as +/- 0.4gn on zero and on the same powder charge in pan just by removing the pan and putting back on the scale. Changed batteries 4 times. Makes no difference. I used two different levels they read perfect in all directions. Recalibrate several times each use. Recheck zero between weighings. It checks out, remove pan to charge with powder, weighs what I want. Dump powder in brass. Check zero again and it is +/- 0.4gn so the charge I just dumped has to be redone. This happens way too often. I don't trust this scale will not be using it again. It has gotten worse through use!
