    Tim Dicko liked post by 10-Ring On thread : Beams scales vs automatic powder dispencers
    I got tired of my old slow RCBS 10-10 scale and thought I'd try an electronic scale. Spent about $400 on a brand I won't mention and it was hopeless. So I splashed out and spent some big spondoolie's...

    At the end of the day there isn't many people that are good enough shooters or have accurate enough rifles to benefit from any finer measuring of .1 of a grain. I have been using the hornady auto...

    As mentioned above, I find case-neck-tension can be a huge variable in the pressure-variable part of the equation. You need to get your brass as consistently-equal as possible if you are going for...

    If you sit at a normal height table, only need to raise them about 20cm. If you pre-load with a scoop, the beam scales are pretty quick.

    The old.powder thrower works fine. Instead of a trickler a tea spoon is heaps quicker.

    Weighing powder is for amateurs. I hand count the powder granules. Far more rewarding

    For consistent loads it's hard to beat a beam scale without spending thousands of dollars, I usually do a rough charge on electronic scales and finish it on a beam scale. Having a level solid bench...

    I use Chargemaster Lite, checked against scientific balance it's always been within 0.1 gr accuracy. Make sure it's level and let it warm up for half hour. That's just my experience with my machine.

    I have a Lyman gen 6. One of the cons that wasn't immediately obvious was that the scale will not settle down and properly zero if there's something electrical nearby. By that, I mean I had a...

    Beam scale, installed at eye height. Make sure it is level and balanced. Combine it with powder scoops and an electronic trickler, and you will be smiling
