Thread: Beam scales vs Electronic

I have the Hornady digital as well, the zero does drift a few tenths of a grain if you don't catch it it can move a grain or so over a hundred rounds no BS I tested it against the beam scale, set the thrower 1 grain light and trickled up
to target weight by round 80 the digital was reading the target weight the thrower was dropping charges +/- 3 tenths of a grain, to get a digital that is reliable as a good beam scale you need to spend a grand or more and it will still
die before the beam scale, A friend uses the Lyman electronic powder thrower not sure which model but it products very small groups it should with a price tag of $700.00 it's still electric and a power surge could fry the CPU
