Highly Accurate Powder Scale

[germanlongbow]

I have a Sartorius Entris 64 measures down to 0.001 grains. It does make a difference in reducing group velocity spreads, can't say that the accuracy in my 100 yards groups coincides. I have a great deal of time to kill so measuring loads down to 1 kernel isn't a big deal for me. I have been able with last three rifles to narrow extreme velocity spread down to 5-7 fps which is a far more consistent than measuring off my lyman powder dispenser or dillon scale. It's a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I’ll let SCott speak for himself on this topic, personally we communicate quite well.

I think my tuned scale from Scott was absolutely the best upgrade to my reloading set up that I’ve ever made.

Scott’s communication defiencies have been well documented and even acknowledged by him on the open forum and in text messages with me. He may communicate well with some, but’s it’s the exception and not the rule. I’m not bashing or knocking him in any way. Just stating facts.

One thing that Scott told me a while back, is that he didn’t believe that everyone had the mechanical aptitude to effectively use a beam scale. At the time I didn’t necessarily agree with his statement. Now that I have a few thousand more rounds under my belt using his tuned scale, I have become more familiar with the nuances of using the scale. Quite honestly I now agree that for some people an electronic scale may be best although a quality beam scale suits my needs perfectly.

I have an Ohaus Carat series, fairly new, it weighs to .02 grains, but the H4350 kernels weigh on average .04 each, so until I start splitting kernels, I am always a little light or heavy.

A&D Weighing FX 120 and Newton 123 specs say +/- 0.02 grains and thats what a kernel of Varget weighs on those scales...0.02 grains. I have both.

Ditto on a Highland Adam 123 model.

As an aside, I find it curious that multiple brands of similar-in-function scientific balances all have the same model number. Is that an unwritten agreement in the scale industry or something?

For Sartorius, the number represents the max gram weight of the scale. It may be the same for AND.
