[QUOTE="Fishdeeper, post: 1848384, member: 110706"] I have been using my Lee Balance beam scale for a number of years without an issue, and this year it started measuring very inconsistently. Mostly giving me overweight loads, sometimes up to .5 gn. I cleaned the V, sharpened the blade, but couldnt get it working right. So I started looking around, read a lot about electronic scales and interference, and discovered the scale industry had moved from strain gauge technology to electro-magnetic force restoration sensors. The new sensors are mostly oblivious to interference from flouro lights, etc, but still affected by drafts. I found this on Amazon, link below, read the reviews, asked them questions, and took a chance. Disclaimer..no affiliation. Very happy so far, admittedly its early, measures to .001 grains, and didnt break the bank. It came with a F1 class 100gram calibration weight. I do have to reset Tare if it doesnt return back to zero, and that might happen every 3 or 4 loads, so its not an automatic high efficiency process. I am trickling manually, and my next upgrade might be to a Dandy Trickler. With the higher accuracy though, i am finding that kernels of H4831sc vary from .025gn to .045gn, so I am still adjusting to ensure loads for accuracy groups are within .010gn , and this is giving me a lot more confidence and tighter groups over what i was getting before.
