    I like Hornady gear, but a kit without a beam scale doesn't sit right with me.
    I bought the Hornady electronic scales recently, you need to really keep an eye on them to make sure they stay zeroed, I has one instance where the powder charge overflowed the case, turned out it was 4 grains out.
    I have also had a powder measure for over 20 years but don't use it much. It seems fairly accurate with a consistent technique, but generally I'm only loading 3-20 rounds at a time with the same powder charge so I find it easier/quicker to do them on the beam scales.
    I've loaded 384 rounds in the last 11 months, so about $1000 worth at factory prices, but I wouldn't use anywhere near that amount if I wasn't reloading (most rounds have been for load development).
