This guy has done some neat things with beam scales. However I'm to the point that I'm going to start looking for a high quality digital no matter if it is several hundred to buy. I've been a Hornady fan and have gotten really good things from them but this beam scale is a fail. When you compare this new one with the old Hornady M scale it is not very good.

And it looks like it would stop the trickling issue with the Hornady maybe!!!
There are several really cool things that have been done. I have seen those videos before. We had a member here I believe who used a beam scale they configured with a few optical sensors and a small motor driven trickler. That was a pretty nice setup.This guy has done some neat things with beam scales.

ReefermanI ended up with this scale and is fairly new. The brass nuts on the beam are loose and moved. The body adjuster bolt sticks through about 3/4 of the way through to zero the beam. I want to know how to set up like the factory.
Hornady says it must be sent in to repair.
I don't want to do this and I just can't believe it is that hard to do. I think I got the answer on how to calibrate it like the factory does but would like to talk to them if possible on this.
