    Yes.

    Dont trust cheap digital scales without a cross check. I had a hornady one and it progressively under read getting worse over time, result 38gr of 2208 became 47gr of 2208 and it stretched my no4 mk2's receiver, I was lucky that all it did IMHO. I do now have a new hornady gen2 scale because its a good way to check quickly when setting up a thrower and as a final way to sample check 4 or 5 out of a 50 round batch. However when landholding for target work I use my Lee beam scale and trickle.
