[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 947378, member: 51650"] SidecarFlip We found the batteries in the bath scale last a lot longer if we keep the dogs from sleeping on the scale. 'Might try that... Our kitchen scale for food (70oz max, resolution=0.1 ounces) is very sensitive to battery quality and strength so we use only Duracell or the bunny batteries. I last used son's e-scale to check weigh finished LTS 45 ACP ammo. Plus or minus 1 grain so I was sure there was powder in each. For that purpose an e-scale is superb. I have done much load development at the shooting bench proper. Measure powder and seat the bullet with a hand press and shoot. One bullet, one chronograph reading and one pressure check- very component conservative. When I find a likely load, usually max, I measure and load five and shoot for group and ES & SD. This requires a scale used outside. My poor Ohaus has suffered at my hand since 1971 but is still spot on. The e-scale makes the shooting bench loading sweet! The Ohaus stays home now. Truly, I believe a reloader needs both. LTS= Long Term Storage KB [/QUOTE]
