Lyman 1200 DPS 3

Does any one own one and if so what do you think about it? I am looking for a scale for all my reloading both shot shell and handgun / rifle. If not the Lyman then what do you recommend. Thanks

I had one..past tense. I use a RCBS now. But there is an alternative. One that seems to have a few extras that may enhance the use. It's called a Smartreloader scale I think. 180 bucks plus shipping..100 bucks less than RCBS 50-60 less than the Lyman. Then there is the Pact scale ad dispenser combo. Need a scale with the infrared like the RCBS which used to be made by Pact. Now RCBS comes from China. If it were me now I would buy the Pact combo made here in the Good Ole US of A with a lifetime warranty for 230 bucks plus shipping I'll bet. In fact I have one each of the Pact and Pact made RCBS dispensers. But do not have an infrared scale to go with them..Yard sale finds ya know..one at a gun show. Had to pay 10 bucks or so for it..They said it didn't come on..sheesh..worked fine from the first go round

Whoa..just noticed..post 3500 Wow..must be gettin old

Got the RCBS 1500 scale and dispenser, I looked at the Pact also and read the reviews and the RCBS came out on top so I will see how it goes. Didnt know that they were made in China now I guess I could have waited another day and waited for some one to reply but I am hoping it will work out for the best.
I am not sure if the posts mean you are getting old or you just have a lot of wisdom to pass on to others.
