[QUOTE="LittleMike, post: 1597903, member: 105232"] If your only loading 30 to 50 rounds in a session, then... [LIST=1] [*][B][U]Absolutely [/U][/B]purchase a quality set of calibration weights. [*]Buy any *** digital scale, ALL of them will drift +-0.3 grains over a period of 10 minutes and require recalibration, unless your Okay with errors in your weights. [*]Purchase a good beam balance, [/LIST] Now, [LIST] [*]Insure your reloading table is level, not exposed to any drafts and do not put a heat source of 'bright' lights near your beam balance. [*]Learn & [B][U]get familiar[/U][/B] with your beam balance setting it up. calibrating it with no weight & your desired charge weight(s). [*]Use the sexy digital *** to get you into the ball park, use the balance beam scale to insure precision and check your calibration frequently during your reloading session. [/LIST] I use a Dillion digital & RCBS beam and yes the Dillion drifts it's a more expensive digital ***,and needs to be reset every 5 or six charges, else I just ignore it and watch which way it's drifting from it's original zero. My calibration weights and worth every penny & my life, I would not weigh / hand load charges without them. [/QUOTE]
