Anybody still using an AMT autoscale?

My parents got mee mine for christmas in 1984, still going strong, loaded 100 6.5 CM rounds with it today. Sent it back once years ago to have a magnet glued back on. Its been flawless through hundreds of thousands of rounds. Have a new Chargemaster supreme waiting for the AMT to give up the ghost but hate to give thee old relic up, something about confirming the charge with a balance beam that makes me feel good about it.

I have used digital scales and balance beams before. For me I prefer the digital auto dispensers. I enjoy using my Hornady LNL auto dispenser.

I'd like to see one of those run, but I've never even seen one. I vaguely recall seeing them advertised, I think. The design looks terrific, and being based on a balance beam is a real plus IMO. I'd like to look at one to understand how it works.

Not the same thing, by any stretch, but I have a PACT Digital Powder Scale I bought back in 1995 or so. At one pont maybe 15 years ago, I sold it on ebay because I had a Chargemaster dispenser and thought I wouldn't need the PACT anymore. Unfortunately (but maybe fortunately!) I packed it incorrectly before mailing it off to the buyer in Alaska. It arrived in an inoperative state, so he sent it back and I sent his money back. I sent the broken scale back to PACT and they repaired it for a nominal fee. I have used it a lot since then and have come to trust it because it matches up with my RCBS 10-10 consistently and it always agrees with my checkweights. It's especially useful for sorting through cast bullets to detect and reject the ones with unseen voids.

That’s impressive—your AMT lasting since 1984 shows real durability, and escape road combining it with a balance beam scale definitely adds confidence to every load.
