Default RE: I need yalls help.

my RCBS electronic scale has a 5 second update time but if it is CLOSE say +/- .05 grains since that is all of the resolution it is capable of, it can take up to 10 seconds to update.. unless i give the pan a nudge... but in doing that you run the risk of messing up your calibration or tare... i find that you need to let electronics "get to temp" before they'll be stable with a tare... and i calibrate before every session of use... with a beam scale your tare doesn't change and neither does your calibration unless you specifically change the height or position of the scales settings...

i do have an RCBS 5-0-5 that i use and it works juuuust fine... i will often times calibrate between the 5-0-5 and the electronic just to see how far each deviates...

my best friend is a die hard beam scale guy... i prefer to use my electronic for the most part... it is just preference...

i only weigh rifle and handgun hunting loads... plinking ammo goes through the Lee progressive with the auto dispenser...

the spray on case lube is nice and eliminates the need for a lube pad... if you neck size only on bottle necks you don;t need but a dab around the mouth... no lube needed for straight walled cartridges running through a carbide sizer...

i must admit i probably go WAY overboard when it comes to reloading... i fall somewhere between average and obsessive benchrest fanatic... more toward the benchrest side... i even weigh bullets sometimes... then i have to stop and tell myself... "this isnt going to alter a danged thing when it comes to shooting a critter at 50 yds you idiot"
