[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3753255, member: 3099"] Everytime I get close to wanting to check into electronic scales and/or dispenser units for the convenience I run across one of these threads and remember why I just probably won't ever trust them. I once worked in a lab with lab grade scales. One of them would have it's display read out fluctuating just walking by it or up to it from 6 feet away and as soon as you got to it and stopped moving it would stabilize. The floor was concrete. I'd trust those without question but would never spend that kind of money for a reloading tool. $1500 to $5000? No thanks. 0.1 grains is a very small unit and requires a good unit to be reliable. You just aren't going to get that accuracy for $400 and less. I've been reloading since the '80s and have yet to find a better combination of a volumetric powder drop with a trickler and beam scale. Most of the time a trickler isn't even required but gives peace of mind on your load quality. The OEMs don't use tricklers and nobody questions a good name brand premium load. They aren't made with a some magic gizmo, they measure the powder. [/QUOTE]
