Thread: Powder Scale Options

I've found the Hornady G3 scales consistent.
I also use a Dillon balance scale though.
My reloading process is trickle up on electronic scale then dump onto the beam scale.
Then sort out another load on the electronic scale before tweaking the measure on the beam scale to be bang on.

The electronic scales are really only capable of +/- 0.01 gr, the beam scale then gets the rest sorted. In saying this, this is way pedantic as I doubt the 0.1gr is enough variation for me to notice in my loads. But the process is quick using both scales and a happy quite fast pace is able to be maintained while delivering very finely weighed charges.

Correction Hornady G3 Scales are +/-0.1gr not 0.01.
They are probably more like +/-0.05. Dillon scales say they are within a granule or two of Ar2213sc over 48 replicates.
