Thread: electronic vs beam scales

I think people come at this from the wrong direction sometimes. Most of my gear has come about because I wanted to achieve something or had a problem that needed solving. I wanted to speed things up so got an RCBS chargemaster , specd properly and with the drinking straw trick it builds ammo as consistently accurate as any beam scale and its a good time saver as its trickling up while you are doing whatever else you need to do. Its never going to be as accurate as the GD 503 but Iv seen no evidence at all that weighing powder to that degree is any advantage at all. If your ammo is accurate and es and sd is good then what are you trying to achieve? and if its not there are beter places to start looking than a few granuels of powder. I do understand the " wanting nice gear" though
