    I have the AnD FX-300i which is exactly the same scale as res's but just with more capacity which I don't use at any rate.
    Very highly recommend the brand. There is excellent backup thru AnD Australasia. Needed to connect my scales to my computer and the rep in Oz actually phoned me and talked me thru it. Also had the external power supply fail (not a AnD item, just a generic switched mode ps). Rang the rep in Oz and 2 days later I had a replacement sent from a company in Auckland. The same guy appeared on tv here during the needles in strawberries crisis, setting up AnD weighing systems to detect the needles.

    What I am saying is there is very good local support which you will maybe not get from brands that only sell out of USA.

    As @res posted you can also get the auto feed device which was designed around the FX scale if you have the dollars

    The only other brand I would recommend is the Sartoreus in a similar featured scale to the FX series.

    The FX uses magnetic force restoration which gives super fast weighing and doesn't drift like the old load cell technology used on older or cheaper scales. Make sure anything you are looking at has this technology.

    A mate and I went with the A&D and the auto throw/trickler V3, went halves in them. By the time we sold up our other powder throwers etc, only cost us $600 each. Easy do 50 rounds in less than 15 minutes and within 0.02 of a grain. Bloody love it. Great customer service from A&D and AutoTrickler.
