DS-750 digital reloading scale - Frankford Arsenal
The Frankford Arsenal DS-750 is a compact digital scale with 0.1 grain (0.01 gram) accuracy and a maximum capacity of 750 grains (50 grams). It is suitable for weighing powder charges, bullets, empty cases and loaded rounds. A solid entry-level scale for reloaders who want accuracy without a hefty price tag.
Accuracy and range
With 0.1 grain resolution, the DS-750 is accurate enough for most reloading applications. The 750 grain (50 gram) range comfortably covers individual powder charges and most rifle bullets. The minimum measurable weight is 0.03 grams, so even very light charges are registered.
The scale features auto-calibration and ships with a calibration weight. It is good practice to recalibrate before each session — it only takes a few seconds and ensures you work with reliable readings throughout.
Backlit display and simple controls
The LCD screen has a blue backlight that makes it easy to read, even in dimly lit workspaces. The controls are deliberately kept simple: a few buttons let you switch between measurement units (grain, gram, carat and ounce) and calibrate the scale. No unnecessary menus or settings to distract you from your reloading work.
Protective cover and carry case
The integrated clear plastic cover protects the weighing platform from dust and bumps when the scale is not in use. Useful if you take the scale to the range as well. The included carry pouch holds the scale, powder pan and calibration weight, keeping everything together.
Battery powered with auto shutoff
The DS-750 runs on two AAA batteries (included). The automatic shutoff after 60 seconds of inactivity saves battery life, but can take some getting used to when trickling powder slowly — you will need to reactivate the scale occasionally. Tip: place a small weight on the platform to keep the scale active while dispensing.

Where does this scale fit best?
The DS-750 is a solid first scale for beginning reloaders, or as a compact second scale alongside a larger dispenser setup. It is not designed to replace a high-end scale such as an RCBS ChargeMaster, but for verifying charges from a powder measure or weighing individual components, it is more than capable. Compact, affordable and reliable — a great starting point.
