I got it for speed of dispensing while making sets to test ammunition. It can dispense almost as fast as I can cycle my 1050 press and is a LOT faster than adjusting a powder measure after every 10-20 rounds.
When the measure goes over (and 0.1gn is the most I have seen, but it happens a lot with certain powders like Power Pistol), you can take the pan off, press your finger in the powder to pick up a few grains and knock them off into the hopper. When you put the pan down, you will almost always have the right weight (this also confirms exactly how little 0.1gn is and how little it could possibly affect anything).
If you picked up too much powder, simply hit the "dispense" button to bring the weight back up. No reason to throw the whole pan full into the hopper.
PS: no rifle shooter needs more precision than 0.1gn of powder. They are weighing at least 40 grains of powder, so at most they have a 0.25% "error." I don't think ANYONE can say that they would notice that error.
