[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 640013, member: 28854"] In your response you are now using the words "extremely close" and "pretty much the same". Also you end with: "You check everything critical off of three measuring devices and you calibrate off of three devices. If one is differing then something's wrong." That's all well and good, but with that statement you're saying you were still using the expensive primary Lab scales for your final okay before things went out the door aren't you? If not, why have the Lab and it's precision equipment if that cheaper stuff on the floor was so great? IMHO the answer is that the shop equipment wasn't good enough for a final okay to ship and that's basically what I'm trying to say in regards to the use of cheap digitals in powder weighing when you equate them with a good beam scale during final trickling of the powder to get to your target weight. My guess is that a lot of these cheap digitals people are buying aren't nearly as good as a beam scale. I know my buddy bought a Cabelas digital and the first time we went to use it we found it would not hold zero and it's repeatability was horrible. It went back and he bought a Dillon beam scale.
