[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 947298, member: 51650"] To those youngsters who think mechanicals are slow: Drop the last weighed charge into a case. Charge the scale pan and set it on the scale. Seat a bullet in the case you just charged. Look up at the scale, it will have stopped swinging by now. Pinch a few grannuals of powders and drop them in the pan. As each one hits the pointer will creep up to the setting- no swinging back and forth. Pour the charge into the next case. Repeat. There is no practical time difference between an electronic or mechanical scale. Only a difference in operator function when you weigh every charge. I have a mechanical and youngest son has an e-scale. We use both but for weighing each charge the mechanical is no handicap as far as speed. And it only needs to be checked maybe once a month to see if it needs to be cleaned. KB [/QUOTE]
