Depends what you use them for. Are you weighing every charge or do you just use them to calibrate a powder dispenser? If the former then it probably isn't goong to speed up your loading and if that latter then why go to something less accurate?

 

Electrnic scales are all very well but the 0.2 grain accuracy of those ones is not desperately impressive. Normal beam-balance scales are calibrated in 0.1 grain increments but, in reality, are actually far more accurate than that as you can see a variation by even the thickness of the indicator line - if you see what I mean.

theyre good theyre just SO DAMN SLOW

 

I don't think that an electronic scale is going to speed you up any. To be honest, my RCBS uniflow usually throws to within a couple of tenths of a grain (depending on what powder you are using) so something like that is probably the best way to speed things up and, in reality, is going to be at least as accurate (if not more so) than an electronic scale.

 

Bottom line is that any method by which you measure each charge is going to be slow.

I use a set of digial scales very similar to those ones in the link.

I find them accurate to use when checking them against my rcbs 502 scales.

They didnt come with the pan though but I just use the pan from the rcbs scales.

Also I bought them from Ebay and I think they only cost me around £10 delivered.So before you buy those ones I'd check out the bay first.
