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.
It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.

Have a 5-0-5 and a Dillon digital. I use the 505 for trickle charging 5.56 loads and the Dillon for everything else.
