I have found the Frankford Arsenal mini electronic scale ($22 at Cabella's) to be eminently suitable for my reloading needs. It comes with a manual calibrating weight (10grams if I am not mistaken) for the occasional recalibration, has manual self-zero reset, and a tare function that does not drift.
Accuracy is not in question, and I actually bought a second scale of a different brand just to cross-calibrate. Unfortunately, I have since given the second scale away.
A couple of important things though when using an electronic scale: let it come to room temperature when you use it, and never breathe on it while you are using it....the temperature difference in exhaled breath versus room temperature is enough to throw it off by several fractions of a grain.
Digital electronic scales are, in my mind, the way to go. Together with digital electronic calipers, too!
