[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 488523, member: 13085"] There is some fundamental terminology missing from most discussions over beam vs. electronic. [B]Beam scales are:[/B] Reliable Mildly Accurate (to the scales capability of about 0.1gn) Precise (they achieve 0.1gn consistently) Higher error (+/- 0.1gn) [B]Electronic scales are:[/B] Highly accurate (this is where electronic scales beat the pants off of beams) Precise (they can achieve single kernel accuracy consistently most of the time) Reliable (maybe, but NEVER to the degree of beam scales) Lower error (+/- 0.02gn?) Anybody arguing scales should have a solid understanding of accuracy, precision/repeatability and error. Beam scales can NEVER EVER EVER offer the accuracy that electronics can. Electronics can offer single kernel accuracy (and even better if desired). We use electronics to weigh atoms, not beam scales. But with electronics come instability, cost, environment user error etc. Electronics can increase production as stated above, especially if (i.e. the chargemaster is reprogrammed to throw faster charges). To my knowledge, acculab/sartorius scales are european, and not cheap chinese crap. I readily acknowledge that RCBS chargemaster feels like it was outsouced to china by the lowest bidder for RCBS. I own one. It has some inherent reliability issues as well. Comparing a beam to the RCBS is a fair fight. Comparing a beam to a high dollar research scale is not even close to a fair fight. Boomtube, like others long in the tooth (:)) tend to prefer repeatability and reliability. Hard to argue against that logic in this game! His opinion has been arrived at with much knowledge/experience. I dare you to test him! Give me a fine piece of german electrical engineering ANYDAY but I'll pay a price...Is it worth it? To me yes, but my gun still outshoots me and my prey (sometimes) eludes me. [/QUOTE]
