[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2602924, member: 115070"] I use one, but probably not like most people. I found it to be less precise than I desired so I measure out each load 0.3 grains light and trickle in the rest on a beam scale. I’ve seen my velocity ES and SDs come down quite a bit. I also verify the accuracy of the beam scale every so often with reference weights. Once you have a rhythm it doesn't add much time at all. For non-critical stuff like bulk, short-range stuff I still use it. Before I changed, I pulled some bullets and measured the charges. There was a powder variation of up to 0.3 grains. As for a warm-up period…… we’re not using vacuum tubes. I don’t think a little power fluctuation will matter much either, but that’s just my general gestalt from my engineering days. I think microfriction from sitting a while is probably more important than an electronic “warm-up.” [/QUOTE]
