Even with a balance beam, who is to say that beam was properly calibrated at the factory and the markings are in the exact right spot?
Whether or not a beam scale is calibrated (hash marks on beam) exactly, repeatability is the key. The major problems with early digital scales was this repearability; wandering zero, auto-shutoff disrupting tare, etc. If your powder charges are the same (or as close as possible) whether they weigh 11.01 or 11.05 is not an issue, but consistency is...
