[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 917895, member: 8833"] I wouldn't say there is any more advantage to that type of scale in the end result but I personally find it more user friendly. I find that in putting powder in the weighing tray and removing it is much easier - there is just more size so clumsy fingers/hands are not as effected. I also own a 5-0-5 and an M5 - don't know why because I never use them - I have a backup for most everything. I built a stand to set my scale on that keeps the bar at eye level while sitting at my reloading table. Once you get set up it does not take very long to charge 100 brass. I have bought 2 electronic scales in the past but after having to check them every time I wanted to use them against the beam scale I sold them both. I have the same scale that you showed the picture of other than mine has 3 beams and no dial. I have kept my dust free, wipe it down occasionally with a anti-static tissue, lube the pivot points every couple years and have only found one negative with this larger beam scale. I have to turn off an overhead ceiling fan in my reloading room while weighing in that the beam is so sensitive that it fluctuates or keeps moving with lots of air movement. [/QUOTE]
