What makes do you all have and how do they perform for you?

Got a Lyman 1200 DPS II for Christmas and it is a dream machine

I've had the same dispenser for a couple years, love it! A bit of a hassle to clean at first, but after ya get used to it, it's not an issue. I do as Mac does with his, open the chute in the back, let it empty most of the hopper, close the chute, rotate the feeder tube so the slot it down, lift and tip the scale to each side so all the powder comes out of the feed tube, open the chute to let the last bit of powder out, clean up with the little brush if needed, you're done. It takes longer to explain it that to do it!!!

The scale is slower than the RCBS combo, but doesn't cost as much either, $200 compared to $260 minimum for the RCBS, they're both made in China.  To speed dispensing, I used a dipper to fill the pan about 90% full, then let the scale top it off. While it's running, I seat a bullet in the last charged case.

I use a cheap lee perfect powder measure, then weigh the charge on my Pact digital presision powder scale, I couldnt be any more pleased with the pact.

I bought a cheap digital scale from Ebay last year because I had some points that I had to use or lose.  I only use it for weighing bullets that I cast because the zero keeps drifting even though there is no air movement.  I have to reset the tare weight every few bullets.  Don't know what is causing the drift, probably just a cheap device, I still rely on my old RCBS beam scale for weighing powder.

If someone was going to use a digital scale for weighing powder I'd suggest a higher quality scale, one specifically designed for weighing gun powder.
