Electric Measures and electric scales ?

Years ago, I bought the pact setup, for multiple reasons at the time. I did go to the V4 a couple years ago. When I got the pact, I wasn't convinced of its accuracy, so I set up my trusty old beam scale on the granite countertop, and would double weigh every charge. I would get small discrepancies very often, my guess was around the 65-70 % range, every time I could trace it to the beam scale.
With that said, the V4 with the " lab" scale, as everyone here that has one knows, is irreplaceable in my opinion. I would never go without a forester co-ax, a Good lab style scale, and the thumblers tumbler with SS pins.
 
I have a big desk drawer full of relatively cheap e-scales and a beam scale that hasn't been used in a long time. I still use the old RCBS manual powder thrower and their manual trickler. The FX120i is a big investment, but the confidence and accuracy it delivers is worth every penny. I'm still a slow loader, but this doesn't bother me. I have found I can compromise on speed with my setup, but precision is never an issue with a high quality scale like the FX120i.
 
I've got a Lyman DPS II thrower/digital scale combo. My negative zero is -109.8gn and that's the number I watch. If it gets wonky it's almost always a few kernels have gotten under the pad for the pan. My air-compressor is nearby so usually a squirt or two of high pressure air gets things back to normal. I am Jonesing a Supertrickler and I suspect I'll scratch that itch reasonably soon.

Ball powders I throw with a Dillon or Harrells.

I've got a couple of 10-10's and a 304 Dial-O-Grain I use for spot-checking the Lyman, Dillon's, and Harrells.
