I WANT ONE.... OR THREE. OKAY FOUR!

That looks awesome. I'd settle for one, or for a powder bar on my 550 that doesn't keep varying loads by 0.1 grains.
thats as good as it gets
I only see two issues one the cost of all the neat toys beyond my meager budget and the second cost of feeding the darn thing

+/- 1/10 grain is standard accuracy, no?

Unless you spend twice what the 1050 costs, and you can only weigh one charge at a time.
When I load 45 ACP the min recommended charge is 4.3 and max is 4.6, so 0.1 deviation is a big deal.
In the interest of safety, I would use a more tolerant powder.
1/10 grain is 1/70000 of a pound#8203;; if the powder you're using only has a .03 grain go/no go; you should definitely try literally any other powder. Or load each round individually, with plenty of time for your scale to warm up, and in an enclosed room without any air infiltration at all.
The trouble is, even balance scales have a tolerance, and almost all of them list it as +/-.1 grain.

Gotta agree with this ^^^^^
The scales we use in reloading are typically +/- 0.1 Grain of accuracy.
Pretty damn hard to get any better.
Even the high dollar scales used in chem labs are only good to +/- 0.1 GRAM or a little more than 1.5X less accurate!

do you think it is not just as much of a deal for the rest of us?
i load .45acp with a dillon 550, and can get a 10fps standard deviation , i doubt i could ever improve on that, in fact i'm tickled to death with those results

And coupled with automation that all you do is feed to produce
rounds at a rate of over 1350 an hour... I'm all giddy! [:p][:D]

I am loading 45's on a 650 now using VV310 the 4.4 grain charge is consistently the same. Ten charges weighed with the hopper filled to the brim weighed 44.0 grains, when the hopper was down to the dispersal bar the weight of 10 charges was exactly the same.

Encouraging. Good to know. But you ain't helping my pocket book... [:0]
