Trickling powder directly onto digital Scale?

[demolitionman]

I've made some incredibly accurate loads trickling powder directly onto a digital scale, that being said, I also read in my scale manual to never trickle powder directly on scale but to remove pan, and re-weigh each subsuqent time. This is all fine, but I was curious if there are certain higher end digital scales accurate to a tenth that are designed to function without constantly removing scale pan and replacing each re-weigh.

How many of you trickle powder directly onto pan to make up a few tenths of A grain. I imagine most do the add/remove pan deal. I seem to see a .2gr variance on average and occasionally a .3gr variance. I recalibrate often.

I guess I'm just going for the utmost in consistancy, and if that means ditching the digital scale I would like recommendations on the best beam style as well.

I have both and prefer a beam scale. Drafts affect the accuracy of my electronic scale. With my beam scale I just intentionally throw a charge a few tenths under and trickle up. I wouldn't suggest trying to trickle a 'few grains'...that would take forever. The beam scale I use is a dillon eliminator.

I'm using a Gempro 500 now, a Pact before that (wouldn't recomend).

I've always trickeled onto my digital scale. .05gr accuracy given consistantly.

When load testing, I usually end up with some of the upper end loads pulled back down. I re-weigh these and they are always right on the money (0.05gr).

With the gem pro 250 I throw the charge and trickle directly into the pan...it consistantly weighs 1 kernal of powder...with the pan on the scale tilt the side with the lip (facing you) up and the scale re weighs charge..very nice scale if you do proper precautions... (surge protector and those little rf thingies on the cord......

I always trickle directly into the pan on the scale. never had an issue.

My chargemaster trickles directly into the pan...
