[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 943648, member: 9215"] I grin when I read of people buying costly scales so sensitive they have to sand paper the last kernel to get absolute precision. IMHO, they are kidding themselves. Reloaders have long been provided scales sensitive enough to detect diferences to less than .1 grain and that's as much as we need for the most demanding work. Small variations in primers and internal case volumes and powder lot and fouled bores and even the temperature will exceed the velocity effects of such minute powder charge differences. And, IF an accurate charge is working within the proper pressure range for the cartridge, small charge variarions simply won't have any provable effect anyway. Get a beam scale from any of our common brands and know it will have all the accuracy and sensitivity you need and, if taken care of, it will last you forever. [/QUOTE]
