I started using an electronic powder dispenser about 5 years ago. I used it exactly about 2 hours and then switched back to the analog weight scale.

It was taking too damn long to work a batch of rounds up because the electronic scale would either underload or overload and rarely ever hit the exact powder weight I set it for. I spent more time trickling trying to get to the exact powder weight I set it for to dispense.

I guess if you are loading small numbers of MATCH ammo and you have the time to sit there and trickle the time away then it would be fine to use but for bulk it just plain sucks. A big waste of over $150 for me.
