No nightmares, but you may want to take a serious look at the Gem Pro 250 with it's +/-.02gr resolution vs the RCBS's +/- .1gr. I've been using one for three years.

Beam scales? Most all popular beams are advertised as having a +/- .1 gr resolution, some are, a lot aren't. Although they may indicate a 50gr charge weight it can be as much as .1-1.5 gr high or low charge to charge.
A tuned beam in another story.
I recently tuned an old Lyman D5, same scale as the RCBS/Ohaus 502. It will register one kernel of Varget( .02gr) which is less than 1/2 the width of the sewing needle I attached for the pointer and is dead on and repeatable up to 300grs. Its off the width of the needle above 300 or roughly .05-.06 gr. I haven't figured out why and I not going to worry about it either!
If you want a truly accurate repeatable beam contact Scott Parker. He'll tune your beam or sell you one. How good is his work?
