I have been looking at reloading tutorials on YouTube to learn the process and have noticed this scale has been used on a good majority of the videos. It is on sale on Amazon for $18. Original price is $40.

On some of the videos they give step by step on how they use it. As I have seen it on numerous videos, I'm inclined on getting this scale. Specially if it's on sale.

Has anyone had bad experience on this scale or should I take advantage of the sale?

I have had one for a few years now. For the price I would say it's a decent scale. For $18 I would give it a try, worst case scenario is you use it as a backup scale later down the road.

I've had one for a year now. It's been great. Weighed several charges against my GemPro 250 and they were all on. The GemPro is no fun for trickling so I actually kept using the Frankford instead.

Recently moved to a Chargemaster 1500 and that's a lot more fun than trickling. :D
 
For under $20, every reloader should have a Frankford DS-750. They are small and accurate enough they can find a use on every shooter's bench.

Get it.
 
I paid $19.99 for mine with zero shipping at Cabelas seven months ago. I know a little bit about scales and I think this thing is a winner. Even if I had paid more......
 
When the cheap scales first came out, about half of them seemed to be plagued with drift issues. You either got a good one or you got a poor one. Catch as catch can. I'm sure a lot were returned. But as with all electronic devices, over time you eep getting more and more for your money. If you search Amazon, you'll find good reviews of very inexpensive scales that will resolve a milligram (≈0.015 grains), though most are limited to 20 grams maximum weight. Still, that's 308 grains, which is fine for powder, even though it means you can't weigh some larger bullets on it.

The main thing you need to watch out for in repurposing, say, a jeweler's scale, is that you don't buy one that settles and freezes the reading so you can't use it to trickle up a charge. The main advantage of those geared toward reloading, specifically, is that they should not do that.
