[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 169636, member: 2580"] Find out what's wrong with your beam scale, or replace it. The digital scales are at least 10x faster than a beam scale for weight sorting, but the beam scale gets the last word. If my digital ever fails to zero during use, I re-zero and check the case or bullet on my beam scale. And like Catshooter, I weigh all powder charges on the beam scale. Check your beam scale regularly with the test weight. You have to have absolute confidence in it. I use the 250gr test weight that came with the Ohaus beam scale to test my digital also. Be sure no air is moving over either scale while you're using them. Also, don't breathe on them. Either one can hunt more than 2 tenths of a grain just from your breath. You will really appreciate a good digital scale if you get one, but only if you can depend on a beam scale to check it with. Good luck, Tom [/QUOTE]
