[QUOTE="wildcat455, post: 1413411, member: 102653"] Maybe electronic scales have come a way since this thread back in 2012... I have 2 Hornady electronic scales. One is a Lock and Load bench scale, the other is a Lock and Load Autocharge. Right in between them sits an old Redding model 1, PRE oil bath beam scale. Yeah. No dampening on that old timer... it's probably In the neighborhood of 70 years old... It is still dead nuts on for powder weights, but somewhere above 134.3 gr, it weighs .2 gr light all the way out to 300 gr. That's ok with me, I don't use it for that anyway. When accuracy for 1K yards and further matter, where 6 fps equates to one inch, I'm all for taking out every variable I possibly can by controlling the things I can control... and pretending not to worry about the things I can't, while trying to find ways to at least make things consistent. Sure, the electronics scales drift .1 gr or so, but if I'm loading something that isn't .1 gr critical, I don't worry about it. They work, and they speed things up. One of the points I want to make is If I can hold less than 10 FPS ES, and 5 SD Regularly, trying to maintain single digit ES 9 and SD 3 and Even hit as low as ES 4 and SD 1 a couple times here and there with what I'm running... you won't catch me judging someone else for doing their thing the way they want to do their thing, or doing it the way they can afford it! I've found for every finger I point, there's at least 3 more pointing back at me. BTW, I got that same hand primer TracySes23. [/QUOTE]
