Have a RCBS Chargemester Lite that I dispense with. I like it a lot. Have a Gempro 300 that I re-check each load on. It has a tendency to wander a bit every few sessions. Works better for me off batteries. Easy enough to pick up on via the tare reading and re-zero when needed.
Have a beam scale but have gotten away from it. Digital has saved a lot of time. I don't see myself going back to a beam.

I'm going to pick up a Frankford Arsenal intellidropper powder dispenser in the near future, read a lot of positive reviews about them, and some videos comparing them to others, for the price I don't think they can be beat

I have both digital and beam and I use them both, depending on how I feel that day. I started reloading with a beam scale in 1970. I bought my first digital about 8 years ago. When I first got the digital I liked it better than the beam but over time I kind of got back to using the beam again. Being retired I have time. The prices have gotten a little better on digital and the price on the beams have gone up. I would say, if you don't have a digital go out today and get one, you can buy one a lot cheaper than a beam. The only real draw back to a digital is power, if the battery goes dead or get weak you can't load. A beam doesn't require batteries,

I do have a digital powder scale, with a beam scale to verify, I use both normally, but I'm wanting the electronic dispenser to speed up loading , especially rifle rounds.

I have RCBS and it works great. Verify about every 10th round and never had an issue. I still like to hand dip most of my charges when only running a few. But, the electro dispenser does speed up production if exactness is not important.
I have almost bought one of those several times, some of the reviews scared me off though

They not my cup of tea for loading. Great for weighing random stuff.

Great for getting close quickly and then trickling to the exact spot.

I have an RCBS Chargemaster as well as a Chargemaster Lite and really do like using them both together. I'll beam check random loads throughout a session and both dispensers typically hold pretty well, usually not outside of 1/10th every now and again.

I keep considering this route, but I don't shoot competition. I only weigh hunting rounds every time. I mostly use powder measure with non hunting rounds and weigh every 5th or 10th round. Seems like it would slow me down on 223 loading, based on video.
