[QUOTE="kamml, post: 4943776, member: 20373"] I would recommend the RCBS powder auto scale. Some folks complain that it not as fine as they prefer but I don't weight out much below a full grain myself, I don't sweat the 1/10 gr. stuff as I am not a benchrest target shooter. The auto scale enables reasonably accurate powder loading and repeatability. You might see some impact in your standard deviation through your chronograph, but that's 10-10ths stuff. They say the RCBS is hands down the best tool of its type. I would recommend the bayonet style chronograph too. I have had a three different screen chrono's and the bayonet style is easier to set up and more reliable especially in bright sunlight. If money is no object go for the radar based chrony, that is arguably the most accurate and easiest to set up. If money is a consideration even the lowest cost chrony will make a real difference in your reloading. Otherwise your are shooting blind velocity wise. Get an electronic caliper as overall round length is a critical measurement in reloading and accuracy. Personally I prefer Hornady dies over RCBS.
