i hate to break the news..its been proven by long range BENCH REST SHOOTERS. ITS WHY WE DO IT. did you look at lou m's set up for the f class nationals ?? there is more to the world than f class. and even some f class understand the details matter...some clearly do not.
Creedmoor Sports ".01gr." Scale...Strain Gage
- Thread starter Killick
- Start date
I have no hopes of being a world class 1000 yd bench rest shooter, so why would I worry about super charge weight accuracy?
If I did, I would just wait for a V9 that auto trickles and seats bullets, hands free.
This thread is really about this scale, not about whether you need it or not.
The options appear to be either upgrading to a V4, or a a tuned beam
There are so many that complain about digital scales drifting often attributed to electrical and static.
(search forum for static). Thumbtacks in your bare feet might help ( ouch). Power conditioners, antistatic mats, and Faraday shields, drive up costs. This scale is no where near the price of a great scale. Just a good one. I did pick a different brand, about the same cost but the 4th digit helps with weighing things other than for just reloading.
Creedmoor didn't go off the deep end with resolution, just maybe a nice stable scale accurate enough to not matter to MANY shooters. I see it in the Good Enough category reading to 0.01 grain. Good enough that error properly using it would be close to insignificant. I dont see how you could miss by more than a few counts.
The grain native mode is nice for those math challenged that don't understand units of measurement and use a milligram scale in grain mode even though a milligram is a little less than 0.02 grains which seems to be good enough for a lot of shooters.

go back and look...look at today's records( LONG RANGE BR)
bart has a .311 600 yards group, 1k has under 3" and 100/10x
THIS IS A FORUM, not a match
That 1k 100/10X was almost a 100/9X.
what are you referring to ?
but it is in the record books as a 100 10xunder 3"...two records( group and score.
gonna be tuff to beat
and it was a 300 wsm...with win brass !
i hope everyone notices the actual words...yes for long range br, probably not for f class and below.
as a reference point the f class 10 ring has SEVEN times more area than a br target...1k.
and both the BR 10 ring and the F-Class 10 ring have 4 corners
nope...br has a box,,but it is not the 10ringand both the BR 10 ring and the F-Class 10 ring have 4 corners
As promised...
What is the question? I’m going to Creedmoor Sports to see this before I buy. Not sure I need it, but it seems like a good intermediate step before I consider the V4.
If I can dump, weigh, trickle in 20-30sec, I’ll be happy. I think weight will need to settle under 5s.
Gotcha! The way you had it worded, I thought maybe you were going to a Shrink to figure it out. lol!
Well, that is probably how I should be spending my money!
Ordered the TRX-925 based on overall good reports in various forums, UR review and then F-Class John's review sealed the deal for me. While I'm not a competition shooter, I am interested in improving my results and after paying close attention to my current Frankford Arsenal scale, I can easily recognize where the deficiencies are. I currently use a manual powder trickler and don't mind the time involved, so using something like a V4 with a FX-120i are not only more than what I want to spend, but they really aren't needed either. I could use that money savings to buy more components and thereby have more practice time at the range.
@F Class John
Just wanted to give you a big thank you for taking the time to put together videos and reviews. You obviously have a lot going on and I can appreciate the time you invest to share info with others. Like I said earlier, while I'm not a competition shooter, I am interested in precision shooting. So, I really appreciate your unbiased and simple explanation of things you do. I like that you don't come off like you're trying to sell people stuff, instead just give an honest opinion along with your likes/dislikes about the products or methods.
