What's your dream powder scale?

[Rocketvapor]

EJ-54D2
In gram mode low range it reads to 0.0002 grams.
How much is 0.2 milligrams in grains??

Isn't the EJ-54D2 a Dual range scale?

Yes, but in the lower range it has fine range, and at heavier weights it switches to a less fine scale. I think all our powder charge weights would be in the .005 range.

Here's one of my beam scales - It's a Stanton D4 from the 1950's, cutting edge in it's day. Resolves down to .1mg or .0015 grain. (Air damped)

 

[Rocketvapor]

Love it.
I spent years swinging weights and recording turning points

I guess that must mean i not a real rifleman. When i dream there is usually a 1957 vette or a Cobra with a 427 sideoiler in it or a North American aircraft. On rare occasions there is , well maybe i better not talk about that.

what we have here is a failure to communicate.
what i posted is a and d USA data specs for what is sold in the usa
the post vapor put up is from a and d JAPAN....NOT USA.
so maybe some one can sort this out..like call usa a and d ??

 

[Rocketvapor]

Can you link to the USA specs that show the dual range resolution?

if you look at my post, it shows 2 sets

 

[Tokay444]

if you look at my post, it shows 2 sets

And why on earth would both sets be the same resolution? What’s the point of have two ranges if they’re literally the same?
There’s clearly a typo on whatever site you’re on. Otherwise it would just say 0-802.48gr in .02gr increments.

 

[6bra1k]

i think the answer is the difference in ACCURACY and DISPLAY
the DISPLAY will do 0.005 0.001
the ACCURACY is what i posted 0.02

no there are 2 listings because it is a DUAL function scale.( most of the page has dual listings)...but as i said...THE ACCURACY DOES NOT CHANGE

@6bra1k ,
Not trying to be argumentative but the High Range (which an be set to automatically change ranges, or set to manual) has 0.001 gram (1 milligram) resolution if set to high range regardless of weight.
LOW range has BETTER resolution.

The 0.003 GRAIN comments are equivalent to the minimum GRAM resolution of 0.0002 GRAMS or about *0.003 GRAINS (*corrected decimal) on the LOW range. Unlike the Creedmoor scale, it seems the native measuring unit is GRAMS.

Most USA suppliers seem to be selling to the specs I quoted with prices from $360 to $600.
If the USA version is worse, maybe buy the Japan model.

thats an opinion, MINE IS FACT FROM THE MAKER, NOT an online review or non usa specs

 

[Rocketvapor]

YouTuber got it WRONG (More than once).
Could you please link to complete USA spec sheet.
(Scale is manufactured in Japan, and sold through USA Distributors)

Where do you find kernals of gunpowder that weigh .005 of a grain?

 

[Rocketvapor]

How much does a single kernal of CFE223 weight?

Danny,
got a 403 Forbidden.

 

[sparker]

Imagine the rock solid reliability of a beam scale and the reading speed of a digital. The tuned, green bodied, oil dampened Redding #1 scale delivers this! Single kernel responsiveness and it dampens out in 4 seconds. It is what I use and I could use any of them.

I guess with the shortage of powder we don‘t need to let one extra kernel of powder get in the brass that’s not needed
