[QUOTE="mdw717, post: 2174214, member: 19722"] Basketball in the reloading room? Well, if your son is still alive....I guess you will have to reward him for the chance to upgrade your equipment. To wife, "It was an accident Hon!" To son, (Wink, Wink!) I have a Lyman electronic scale my wife bought me a few years ago and find it to be frustrating. I expected better accuracy than my 50 year-old Lyman beam scale (D7) and Redding powder measure because it cost multiple times more money. It's not. It usually is within plus or minus 0.1 grains of set-weight, but not always. It's also sensitive to any air movement and power fluctuation. It's wonky to setup and takes many minutes to "warm up." My powder measure is much faster and just as accurate with ball and flake powders. If I use the electronic scale now days, it's just to throw the initial charge into my beam scale pan where I then trickle powder to my desired load weight. You might want to borrow and test-drive one before you layout the cash. Good luck with whatever you chose. [/QUOTE]
