[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1021291, member: 1521"] I'm all for the precision of digital scales, and I wouldn't pretend beam scales can keep up under lab conditions. But I've learned over the years that measurement standards in the field come down practical(repeatable given field conditions). My bench is not a lab. It's not granite, or plumb, or contained within a tight atmosphere, without breeze, or dust, or vibration,, and my power is residential. The best I can practically measure on my bench is to the powder kernel, no matter the better digital scale. And what I've found through testing is that the best reloading scales(for me) are not actually the most accurate. The best reloading scales are easiest to consistently measure to practical(easy to use well). Having said all that, I'm very happy with my RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 scale/dispenser. To consistently get to the kernel with it took some testing/mods and validation with a far more accurate Acculab scale . But once I did, I couldn't unload that Acculab fast enough. IMO, it would absolutely suck as a reloading scale. [/QUOTE]
