[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1246290, member: 84595"] I have the 5-0-5 scale and the cheap Lyman digital. I have quite using the balance beam 5-0-5. I used to go back and forth checking each load. I then bought check weights. They were both on. Even if you do not trust electric scales they are alot quicker for getting you powder pourer close, then you could fine tune with balance beam. As for accuracy of balance beam, I get tired of and you can debate, is it actually on the line, or not. Not sure I believe them, some say you should plug it in a day ahead of time. I just leave mine plugged in for years, on my bench. Some say florescent ligths effect it. I have to old magnetic ballast, one directly above my bench, about 4 feet. I have noticed when I take my laddle off sometimes it varies by a .1. You could add or subtract I suppose for charge. My check weights are only around 60, which my 30-06 loads are. Though I didn't factor another 134 for my ladle, for testing it in the range I work. [/QUOTE]
