[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2848561, member: 14195"] I bought an electronic scale from Midway, can't remember the brand, cheaper one though. You can't trickle charge on it. I put a light charge in the pan, then slowly trickled. The reading never changed. So I tapped it, when it settled it was like three grains over my desired weight. Someone explained it to me, about how the auto-zero built into the scale was acting faster than I was trickling. So now I trickle on my 505, then check it on the electronic scale. When using my progressive, I check every 10th or so load on the electronic scale. They are handy, but I still trust my old 505 more. I also have a Lee Safety Scale, never cared much for it. For me it is really difficult to lock the 0.1 poise into desired position without moving it a bit one way or the other. I built a little table about one foot tall to set my 505 on, so it would be more eye level for me. I didn't care much for bending over to be at eye level. After using it, I realized I should have made it about 1.5 feet tall. :) [/QUOTE]
