[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 427489, member: 1521"] This dispensor test gives you info that might help: [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/powderdispensers01.html]Digital Powder Dispensers -- RCBS ChargeMaster, Lyman 1200 DPS, PACT test review with accuracy, speed, warranty, reliability tests[/url] I believe there are digital scales as accurate as beam under the exact same conditions. The most accurate reloading scale for powder measurement(only) is the Prometheus beam scale system. But if you put a high dollar digital in such a box, it would eaily match and probably could be even more accurate. However, a reloading scale for multi-uses will not be so expensive, specialized, -or finicky. And that's where an Ohaus beam fits in for many. I currently hold an old Ohaus triple beam, a Dillion D-Terminator, and a Chargemaster dispensor combo. I recently sold off an Acculab VIC-123, after validating my other scales with it. Way more accurate, but not a good reloading scale IMO. I rarely use the beam(too slow), but use the Dillon for bullet & H20 capacity checks, and the chargemaster for powder. The Chargemaster represents a big advancement on my bench, and I would dispense ammo in someones behind before they'd get it from me. [/QUOTE]
