    My personal belief is now to just use a very good powder thrower, and a balance beam. A good powder thrower should be +/- 0.1 grain charge to charge.
    Check with the beam every once in a while.
    If you are doing load developement, still use the beam to get that 0.001 result you want. For most hunting, and medium range target shooting a thrower is good enough.
    The accuracy loss is negligible on 0.1 grain and is more likely to be less than by a seating /neck tension anomaly.
    And the cost compared to an electronic charge churner is slightly less too.
    Of course this is all just what I think, and hey I already have the thrower, if you are starting out and bought a good quality E scale system, you wouldnt need a manual thrower and beam scale untill the E one goes on the blink.
