    Whoops , you sir are correct, .1 gr ...a scale that discriminates to .01 would probably be out of my budget

    I bought a cheap digital no name scale off of eBay about 7 years ago for something like $20. It's been fairly accurate (within +/- 1/10 of a grain. I did discover that you can't have any air movement (A/C, fan, etc) around the scale, it will throw it way off.

    Does anyone here have a digital scale that they don't want anymore? I have an idea and I want to experiment with one. Even if you have one that doesn't power up, or the display is bad, let me know.

    I guess I have been lucky. I have a dillon d terminator. Maybe 20 yrs old (?) I check it against a weight and a beam scale when I start a session. They all verify. Every time.

    When you guys are using these scales, are you measuring the entire completed cartridge, and is that measurement in grains?
