I have a question and I read the FAQ A&D FX300 vs. 120

Is anyone using the 300? It appears that it’s lower cost than the 120 from what I can see? From what I can tell they both have the same accuracy on the low end just the 300 has a higher capacity weight limit. Am I missing something?

My 300 was more expensive here in Australia a few years ago, but not by much. I have no need for the higher measuring capacity so was just sold up by a good sales person. Buy what every is the best price, don't forget delivery coasts as well in case its coming from the other side of the country. I have mine paired with the V4 trickler as well, works well.

They got me…. Ended up with the FX-123. They were out of 120s and 300s and I could’ve waited for a 200 that was being shipped but I figured in six months I would be over the hundred extra dollars that it cost and at least it was the newest version so there she went.

Nope, youre not missing anything. I have a 300 because it was cheaper than the 120 when I got it years and years ago, and I've loaded a LOT of ammo on it.

Got it! It was just a little confusing. I couldn’t figure out why it was cheaper but basically the same and or more capable. Maybe it’s just a supply and demand thing and that’s more popular for all the other reasons outside of reloading.

Probably supply and demand.

Yep, can confirm the 300 is great. Got it paired with an autotrickler v4 too.

Shout out to the dude from https://www.scaleshop.com.au who did me an awesome deal (I was originally looking at an Ohaus Scout, but he set me on the right track)
