[QUOTE=Lloyd Smale;4810257] ... If your concerned your getting a bad reading is simple to stick one of your calibration weights in the pan and know your getting accurate readings.[quote]
You miss the point Lloyd, it's just not all that simple. When weighing powder, who knows when a scale is, or even may be, wandering off?
Well, yeah, "Scientists use electronic scales today" ... maybe because their sensitive scales cost hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars and are routinely checked and calibrated by trained technicians. No serious scientist uses cheap consumer grade (throw away) plastic digital scales like those from RCBS, Hornady, Lyman, etc., so you're basically using non-existent apples to justify recommending your favorite oranges.Scientists use electronic scales today. If there good enough for them====.
You seriously think RCBS will stand behind all of their products "forever?" If so, you're going to be greatly disappointed when you send back any green electronic device that's outside their standard 1 year warranty for such items. (Seems they don't have as much faith in their own electronic gimmicks as you!)
Interesting. Well, I'm comfortable believing you know best for what you do and need. But you fail to mention that you load and shoot vastly more than probably 99% of us common reloaders, and that matters.Id about as soon go back to a beam scale as throw out the Dillon's and go back to single stage loading pistol rounds and while im at it toss the star and go back to lyman lubesizer.
The costly solutions to your delightful volume problems are unlike what few of us we have so your advice has little meaning. Like, I have none of your "Dillons" (plural) because my 50 year old single stage press, manual powder measure and balance scale set up is still plenty fast enough for the ammo volume I need. And probably fast enough for most guys other here.
I think we web gurus need to keep our advice aimed at what the other guy really needs, not what we need.
