Digital scale, FX-120i

[nakneker]

I went to order a Fx-120i this morning and came across this. Now I'm thinking about the Entris313-1S, made by Sartorius. The suppliers info makes sense. I'm looking for any opinions from members, Hopefully your experience will help. I've read many of the threads on the FX-120i, very positive stuff. It just looks like the Entris models have come out since 2014, very little feedback on them.

Maybe I just need to bight the bulled and buy something along the lines of Entris64-1s, also mentioned by the supplier in the red highlighted area.

I read that 'sales pitch' you linked to, decided it's just that & little else.

In a word, I'd say NUTS.

Point your browser-of-choice at this forum thread here, read it start to finish then decide for yourself.

I too read the link... Lol , they should stick to scales and not offer longe range loading advice lol.

Get the fx-120i and enjoy , I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an electronic scale.

That scale costs almost as much as my Lab scale. If the accuracy listed is correct it could be used as a lab scale too.

Yup, what spclark said !!

I have the FX and the autotrickler works with it, this should be a consideration for you.

I use the FX-120I and Adam`s Auto Trickler .........

For what that`s worth........

I've got a sartorius 64-1s and the auto trickler. Love it.

What are the differences between the FX-120I and the Sartorious Entris 64-1S????

One decimal place on reading and a lot more accuracy. Matt

Darn it.................

Just when you think you have something........

Just remember this..that third decimal comes at extra cost. It is basically useless unless your into cutting grains of powder in half..

Look at it like this - 50.1grs, 50.13 grs, and 50.134 - they are all 50.1 grs...remember a grain of H4350 weighs rough .026 or so. As a result, measuring to the second decimal is all we really need.

I've owned both and after using both, I prefer the FX-120. It's much more stable IMO. It doesn't draft as much and settles quickly...with the Entris 64 I had to turn off heat and air, hold my breathe to get it to finally settle. Plus, you'll save yourself $500 of so..

Just my opinion..

You get more accuracy weighting with the Sartorious, but the real question is would that actually translate to more accuracy when you are reloading? Most of us knows that for example a Varget kernel is about 0.02 grain. So say you can measure down to 0.002 grain instead of 0.02 grains but you are forced to trickle with kernels that are at 0.02 grain in weight - unless you are actually going to cut the kernels to a smaller size and weight, that accuracy is a total waste. It's like using a micrometer to measure out ribbon for wrapping your presents....Also your reloading practice has to be like super good enough that you can see those small differences on paper.

I just have to laugh....

I`m sticking with what i have, there are too many other things i need to buy to change directions now.....

I know I am going to get feedback from this. When weighing primers it is so much faster. Even if the Etrius is off on the third digit it is still 10 times more accurate. What you have to really look at is the plus or minus accuracy of the scale and the speed. Falconpilot if yours drifted more something was wrong. No draft shield, no filtering of power, power not consiststant or something. I played with both and the Etrius was way faster and stayed more stable. Actually the FX 120 drifted way more. Matt

 

[nakneker]

I appreciate the replys and PMs. It helps make a decision.

Matt,

You weigh primers??

 

[dmoran]

FX-120i has a linearity of +/- .02-grains does it not? - if so would be 0.04-grains of accuracy
Entris64-1s has a linearity of +/- .002-grains does it not? - if so would be 0.004-grains of accuracy, or 10-times more accurate then the FX-120i

I prefer not to get into that discussion again. Two times was enough for me. Matt
