    When you working in fractions of grains weights do need to be small I suppose. My Lee safety scale does just fine for checking powder weight, though I use a modern pocket digital mini-scale (called drug dealer scales by many here in the UK) to check weigh each loaded case (no projectile) and full round for safety and QC (cases are batched when cleaned), though I'm never close to max loads and we don't have pistols which are far more problematic with both double charging and detonating under charging potential.
