I've used a scale for 32 of 33 loading years. I used my OHaus mechanical scale for a couple decades then got a Pact electronic. It is fast, accurate and precise. The mechanical scale has its 'wiggle time' even with the magnetic dampner. With the Pact there is very little of that. I can weigh 6 bullets on the Pact elecrtonic in the amount of time it takes to do one on the OHaus. When building precision loads that is a considerable amount if time. My experience, I couldn't see myself going to only having a mechanical scale unless circumstances got real bad. But I do insist one having a mechanical scale - batteries don't die and no electronics to fail.
