I'm not sure why Lee continues to offer the same beam scale in its kit. It takes 27.589 days for it to settle out. I put a bump block above and below so it would speed things up, but it is still not as good as Hornady or other magnetic beam scales. I like the Hornady best. I also use the Hornady digital scale. I had to go thru a few scales to ifnd one that was accurate and didn't start to drift. Once you get a good one, it seems to be lasting and is great.
