Well I'm using a Lee safety scale now. For pistol I use the autodisk powder measure and use the scale to check accuracy, which works great. When I was reloading for rifle, I found myself hitting the adjustment slider with my fat fingers every time I removed and replaced the pan. Also, my eyesight isn't what it used to be and kept finding myself misreading the scale and being off .1 to .2 grains for a few loads.

I've looked at a couple other beam scales and figured if I'm going to spend $80-$100 for a new beam scale, I might as well get an electronic one.

With that said, is there a better beam scale I should be looking at that is easier to read and not as easy to throw off?

My beam scale is a Redding 505 it's nothing fancy but always works well.  I have a Chargemaster combo and a Dillon D- Terminator digital, both have been great as well. 

Also, I never turn my Chargemaster or my Dillon digital scale off.  I did at first but after about the first year of having them I started just leaving them turned on all the time.  Except for maybe a power outage they haven't been turned off in the last 7 or 8 years.
