I like range shooting, and tailor my loads to each rifle and handgun according to its preferences Consistent powder charges are essential to make good test loads, and I've used several different scales, powder measures, and electronic measures, which I thought would be the most efficient.
Am somewhat surprised to find that I'm back to dumping the powder less than1/2-grain light from a drum measure into a beam scale pan, and trickling the last few grains until the beam balances. The electronic measure (Lyman 1200 DPS) takes about half an hour to warm up and calibrate after turning it on, is no faster in operation, is noisier, and is no more accurate. I'll still use it for bulk loading.
