[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2584505, member: 1951"] Honestly, I don’t think anybody is making a best mechanical beam type scale. I believe that a new, clean RCBC or Ohaus 10-10 was a good enough scale, back in the day. It seemed quite possible to load +/- 0.1gr as long as it checked ok with a variety of appropriate precision check weights. My 5-10 and 5-05 seemed to work when I had them…..still, I’ll bet I was worse than +/- 0.1gr. They really didn’t make scales to that accuracy level that were mechanical unless labeled reloading scales. That always made me wonder! Can you explai, “I’d just rather use a beam”? I’m just wondering why? If you have a digital scale, I would suggest you spend that money on check weights so you know what it is telling you. I read this a lot. What does this mean? The digital scale, if appropriate for reloadin, is much more accurate and repeatable. What is the mechanical beam telling you? Have you considered a set of appropriately toleranced check weights?
