Does anyone still use a beam scale?
When my father started teaching me to reload about 50 years ago..(yeah i feel old lol) we used a beam scale (and I still have it) and continued to use one until maybe 10 years ago or so when I bought a digital scale. I still use that digital scale but also have a Frankford Arsenal intellidropper Just curious if any of you guys still use the old beam scales anymore?

I use one also. I haven't seen a need to change from what works.

My situation is exactly like yours. My late Father*s 1950s Redding beam sits unused since I bought a PACT scale and trickler combo years ago.

Beam scale here. Have certified weight to regularly check accuracy of it.

Absolutely! I found I dislike the digital scales. They never seem constant. I've an RCBS scale that I've found to be excellent! I'm also in the habit of using check weights before I start a reloading session.

I'm too busy not reloading to use a beam scale - or even know what a beam scale IS for that matter.
