[QUOTE="SMK1000plus, post: 1163546, member: 93846"] I use a RCBS Load Master 1500 digital scale with integrated auto-despenser and have notice around one tenth grain variations when loading, even though I calibrate the scale every time I start it up. On critical loads such as OCW or Ladder test loads, I weigh every charge a second time with my RCBS 5/10 balance beam scale and trickle it in to the precise charge weight I'm loading for, then recheck it on the digital scale. I've found the digital scale to often be a tenth grain out but, seldom more than that. The only time I've noticed a greater than one tenth load variation on the digital scale is when a powder granule, or a few granules of powder spill into the scale pan when the scale is reseting to zero after I've emptied it and before I start the next dispensing. When that occurs, the charge weight will be off considerably, even if you empty the spilled granules and hit the "zero" button. The only way I've found to correct this is to "zero" the scale without the pan in place and then "zero" again after replacing the empty pan. [/QUOTE]
