Default RE: Using the RCBS 5-0-5 scale...

For measuring powders I would feel more comfortable with that 505 than any digital scale, I was gonna buy a digital scale from a friend after trying it out I wasn't too imprest , Another friend who stated a beam scale gives a reading in real time where a digital scale takes a second to process so while trickling powder in the pan you might go over your mark before you even get a reading but with a beam scale it gives a reading instantly. Not doubting my friend but wanting to see for myself I tryed trickling a load and he was absolutely correct I went past my mark by 1.2 grain before the digital scale even gave a reading, So after that it will be a beam scale only for me but might use a digital scale for weighing bullets or a final charge weight.
