[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 830134, member: 41442"] I agree with rusty rick. Lots can effect the accuracy of beam scales too. How many check the accuracy of there beam scales with check weights? If you calibrate your electronic scale EVERY time before you load you will about eliminate any drift problems. Look at your instructions. I dont think any electronic scale instructions dont tell you to calibrate before use. I also agree that a .1 or two means nothing in a rlfle case when it comes to accuracy. Bench rest shooters for years measure there charge by volume not by weight and they shot pretty darned good. Ive been loading for near 40 years. A bit better then half of that with beam scales. I bought my first electronic which was a pact close to twenty years ago and its still working great and my beam scales have been given away except for one lonely scale collecting dust just waiting for a day when theres a power outage and i just have to load. People said auto transmitions in cars would never catch on and even that electricity and telephones were gimmics. Im for any quality product that can save me time loading. I load to shoot, i dont shoot to load. [/QUOTE]
