[QUOTE="Huntsman66, post: 2464782, member: 117569"] Ok… so lets talk about this for a min. and before anyone jumps on me, lets understand a cpl of settled points. I believe 100% that you need to use a quality scale that is calibrated and verified with quality ”check weights”. And I understand that expensive scales will settle faster, not drift, and measure out to extremely fine weights. But, for loading just quality ammunition, a kernel of powder weights a given amount and you can’t change that, so if your scale measures to that kernel you are done, you can’t do fractions of that kernel. Where do you benefit with a scale that will measure a granule of powder (for lets say medication) in this process. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about kool new high speed toys, but this one issue has always made me think.. why?🤔. Why spend $1000 on an item that a $300-$400 scale will do? Dont beat me up to bad!😂 [/QUOTE]
