[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 874291, member: 39801"] My personal opinion is that two scales are a safety necessity. I have the same crappy Hornady scale you have, and it is typically +\- 0.2 gr from my beam scale, which is not bad. -BUT- Once it measured 2grains low. Not sure why, but an extra 2 grains can be a big deal at a max load. Once, I kept trickling into my beam scale and it just felt wrong. I double checked on my e-scale and it was an overcharge. Somehow the beam scale stuck on its bearing and gave me a weird reading. The ability to double check charges is worth $80or $90 IMHO. I use both scales to validate set-up, will double check any charge that seems unusual (you'll know), and double check about every 10 loads to make sure nothing has gotten out of whack... [/QUOTE]
