[QUOTE="cgarb, post: 1244642, member: 55318"] When I first started reloading, I bought a Lyman kit with a t-mag press and it came with a small digital scale. Has loaded many rounds, but sometimes it acts kind of fussy. It will get hung up on a grain and then jump a few tenths all at once when trickling in powder. Usually after it does that, i will rezero it out then put the charge back in and it may be off a few tenths. Then it may weigh 20 or 30 more and be fine. The loads it produces are accurate for hunting ammo, and my 308 loads for my FNA3G are very accurate, well under .5 MOA. I came across an older Redding manual scale so tonight I loaded some rounds and weighed charges on both. The redding consistantly weighs charges .2 of a grain light compared to the lyman digital. Both scales zero out fine. I am a machinist and a hotrodder so mechanical things make sense to me. The redding scale I can see work, and is pretty simple. To me it seems like it repeats better. Is my lyman scale not the best digital scale or do most people get vairiances like this? [/QUOTE]
