 I bought this scale on Ebay.

  so far it works great, the letters are huge, a full 1 inch tall and they are bright, it has about a 4.2 inch across round plate for a scale top, so you can weigh big things
   I had a 5 gallon bucket of assorted bullets that I had for a long time, it was from a fire in a gun shop. the firemen were afraid that the bullets would explode,( just the bullet, not loaded ammo) so they really hosed down the boxes
    I was able to place them 1 at a time on the scale, and read out the grains, to sort them,
  I had to push a button to rezero it about 1 time in 100, but Im not sure if it needed it of some of the bullets were over-under on weight,
   it runs on a battery or can plug in a wall,  so far its really a nice scale,

If you don't already have it...get a set of scale weights to verify the scale occasionally. Weights appear pricey at first but are an extremely wise purchase. The RCBS set is reasonable and proves what you can't guess.
