[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 913738, member: 25383"] don't even own a beam scale anymore, and have not for a very long while. But when I'm doing small capacity cases, I often use two scales in tandem to check each other. On the otherhand, (with those small volume loads) I usually do these with ball powders, and only use the scale as a system check. A +/- 1/10th grain window works out to about one half percent error with a typical 25 grain load (small cases). Now on a 44 grain load, the percentage of error shrinks quite a bit. A lot of guys I know still use the beam scales and enjoy them. I have no real problem with that, and honestly they might work better for me at the range. Still I know my two throwers will drop ball powders within the two tenth window day in and day out. Stick powder are trickled and weighed on the scale. But I'd say that whatever you use, you must get comfortable with it. Plus get very consistent with it. gary [/QUOTE]
