My 2 cents on powders and scales.

Digital scales - treat them like in-laws, listen to them but don't trust them completely. I have been thru 3 or 4 digital scales during the past 15 years and eventually all of them become untrustworthy at times. The problem is they have to be so sensitive to detect such minute differences that even your breath can affect the readings. If you use one be sure to have a balance beam to verify your loads.

Powder Measurer - If only using a single stage get 2, one with a small cylinder for handgun loads, the other for rifle loads. If you try to use one for both you will get frustrated. I don't clean powder measurers.

Powders - there are many good powders that meter very well available for each handgun caliber. I don't mess with handgun powders that don't meter consistently.
