[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 488814, member: 28854"] You guys are actually all correct, to a point. The point being that the beam scale will last forever if taken care of properly while the digitals have circuit boards, strain gauges or load cells, etc., that may last forever and then again they may go out at any time. I guarantee it will take a length of time to replace one and for an expense that will be higher than the cost of a decent beam scale. Meanwhile, unless you have a second scale, you're screwed. This is speaking from my 30 years experience testing thousands of various devices as a W&M Official. The low cost digitals being sold for powder reweighing, when they are working properly, are on the same basic level of accuracy as a good beam scale. Where the digital excels is in speed and that's about it. That's why for the amount of reloading I do I don't feel the need for one. [/QUOTE]
