I got one as swag from Graf & Sons a couple of years ago. Checking it vs. a RCBS beam scale showed it to be very accurate. Mostly we use it for weighing bullets and cases since it’s a lot faster than a beam scale when segregating components.

TFB Armorer’s Bench: Closer Look – Frankford Arsenal DS 750 Scale

The Frankford Arsenal DS 750 Scale is a budget-friendly scale that comes in the typical Frankford Arsenal clamshell packaging. It comes with the scale, powder pan, 50-gram calibration weight, manual, and soft case for the lot of it. The scale is called the DS 750 because its maximum accurate reading capacity is 750 grains or 50 grams. This scale has a grain/gram accuracy of 0.1 grain (0.01 gram).

The scale itself is smaller than the average smartphone. It utilizes a plastic flip-over cover that protects the screen from scratches as well as other forms of wear and dust accumulation. Four buttons are present on the scale. You have PCS (counts how many measurements taken), TARE (sets weight to 0.0), UNITS (changes weight measurement), LIGHT (turns the backlight on or off), and ON/OFF.

I personally bought this scale years ago and it has been very useful and hasn’t really presented much as far as quirks. The scale reads accurately but it is good to let your measured weight sit for a good 10-20 seconds to see if the weight fluctuates beyond comfort (usually, it does not). I have since upgraded to the next step up from this scale so it has not been utilized in quite a while but I do not remember having any complaints.

Specifications and Highlights: Frankford Arsenal DS 750 Scale
The MSRP of the Frankford Arsenal DS 750 Scale is $44.99. For the beginner reloader or for an enthusiast on a budget, this scale really is probably one of the best in its category of the price range. I have heard next to no complaint when others have used it only that they hope to upgrade to something that can handle more weight or have better precision. Remember that there is nothing wrong with double-checking your powder charges with another scale if you have one on hand just to get an idea of consistency.

The Frankford Arsenal® DS-750 delivers extreme accuracy for precise measurement of powder, bullets, cases or loaded rounds. Simple controls allow for easy changes of units and calibration. Powder pan, carry bag and calibration weight included.

Closing Thoughts: Frankford Arsenal DS 750 Scale
All in all, this is a decent scale for the money and one that has lasted me years in my little shop while exposed to 100 plus summer heat and freezing well below zero. I have not noticed any fluctuation or variation. It does its job and it is very simple to use. In my opinion, it is a great option for someone just starting out reloading.
