    A&D fx120-i, the ducks nuts, the cats pajamas. Brought my SD and ES waaaay down. Fast, accurate, and can be controlled by an app on your phone. Measures to 0.02 gr or one kernal of stick powder
    That really deserves a 'Reloading Gear porn' thread...

    I'm also curious what is considered the best of the non-dispenser digital scales?

    Best non dispenser digital is the fx120i without the v3 autotrickler

    The A&D FX-300i and FX-500i have exactly the same accuracy as the FX-120i just cost more and have the capacity to weigh more.

    The Sartorius lab scales are even more precise than the A&D scales, cost a lot more and their 1/100th of a grain accuracy isn't necessary.

    There's virtually no difference between comparable models of Sartorius and AnD balances. The Sartorius are mostly made in Germany whilst the AnD are made in Korea. The similar Sartorius to the AnD Fx series has glass side shield whilst the AnD has plastic. Game changer?? The AnD has a vastly better display which is easier to see in daylight conditions.

    My preference is AnD as there is excellent backup thru AnD Oz.
    I had an issue linking my Fx-300i into my computer and Excel spreadsheets. Sent an email to AnD Oz asking for advise and they replied requesting my phone number. Next thing a guy rings me and talks me thru the process. Most impressed. Conversation ended with guy stating if I ever have any problems be they warranty or otherwise just contact him direct.
