When consistently comparing multiple loads between my beam scale (on a shelf at eye level) with a sensitive digital, if I look close enough, hold my head exactly the same each time, and wait long enough, (Yawn,,,) I can see that fraction of a needles width difference on the Beam scale that my digital portrays in no uncertain terms in far less time.
I'll say that even with my trusty Lee Safety Scale, I can see the needle deflect from a single kernel of Varget/IMR 4064/etc. My digital on the other hand I can get 2-5 kernels on the tray before it will finally register. Admittedly I'm not usually worried about having a charge within .1 grains, but when I'm trying to find "THE" load, it certainly helps.
If Lee made a balance style "safety scale" that went over 100 grains I'd happily buy it.
If you can split your charge in half, you can use the safety scale still (ie you need 164.3 grains, 82.15 will get you there).
