[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 520969, member: 2736"] I am on the fence on this one (Digital or balance scales). I have and use both and they both have there strengths and weaknesses. The beam scale is very consistant as long as you Zero it each time before you use it with the weights provided.(Don't assume that it will always be dead on). The Digital scales are faster than the beam scales and I use them most of the time to weigh cases and bullets. The Charge master powder measure uses a digital scale and if I'm going to use it I weigh A charge and then adjust the weight to match the load data weight developed using a beam scale.(The adjusted weight may not be the same numbers but actual powder charge will be identical) . I find that most digital scales do not allways agree with the beam scale by a few 10ths of a grain so I use my beam scale as a "Gold Standard" to work off of. This does not mean that the beam scale Is perfectly accurate at any weight, is is just very repeatable if set up correctly.(And I trust gravity better than electronics). Which is best? I don't know, but I am very comfortable with my use of both types and will stay with both until such time that I have 100% confidence in the digital. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
