Digitals are convenient and I use one for most applications, in combination with a power dispenser in the PACT setup. But I always have my balance on hand in case the digital gives me anything to doubt.

Most applications, I adjust a volumetric powder measure to the desired charge weight and check one every once in a while.

I use the PACT auto dispenser for match rifle loads.

I measure light and manually trickle BPCR loads to the desired weight.
You read a lot about "grains volume" for black powder but that is best left for the flintlock. The Sharps Rifle Company recommended 130+ years ago: "For fine shooting, powder should be weighed on a scale."
