While shopping for different items I occasionally see powder scales for sale but they are a bit expensive for what I want.
I want a scale that will reinforce my settings on the balance scale. Getting some AR parts and reload powder/primers I
spotted this little rascal. Measures grains and grams. Grains to 1600. I want that cartridge!! Ordered it and it arrived yesterday.
Setting it up it zeros at 20.00 grams..... 300+ grains. This worried me that it may have a wide variance at the low end. As I only wanted it as a backup to the balance that would be ok. Not great but ok. I put batteries in it (has power adapter also) and set up the calibration. So far so good. Tossed in my 10 grain calibration weight and it's right on. Tried the 5. Again ok. Tried the 2 and the 1. Perfect. I know, the 0.5 grain will get it. Passed with flying colors. Even with the 40 grain it couldn't be fooled.
I have been using it to load 300BO today and my balance and the digital match every time. Working like a champ.
Accuracy is 0.1 grains so may not suit anyone needing to account for every speck of powder. But it's good enough for me and the price is crazy right.
