[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 1986205, member: 111276"] LOL 50% of me agrees 100% about the statement of a properly set up beam scale. You better put a video camera on the needle in the Dampening system. As one member has stated, after a couple of rounds parallax will set in. Human nature, plus I have already been down that rabbit hole. Too much time and head scratching. Also, weighing in 0.01gn resolution is a farce. A kernel of RL-26 weighs 0.024gn and a kernel of IMR 8208 XBR weighs 0.025gn. just and example. As one member has stated, What are you gonna do?
