[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 535505, member: 28854"] Having been a State W&M Inspector for over 30 years before I retired in 2002, I would tell that guy he is FOS!!! I have an OHaus mechanical balance that a friend gave me two years ago when he quit reloading and I can weigh charges within +/- 0.1 grain all day every day using it and my RCBS trickler to finish each measurement. I do 50 from priming to completion in a couple hours and sure, it's a little slower than an electronic combination scale/powder dispenser, but it's relatively fast and nothing will ever go wrong with it compared to anything with electronics involved. I prime all 50, then place the powder in and seat the bullet on each one as I go, so there is basically no way I'm going to screw up. To me reloading should be done in a nice, slow operation so that everything goes smoothly and is fun, not in an "I've got to load 100 rounds in 35 minutes" type mentality. [/QUOTE]
