    Reloading Scales - Two Decimal Points - Recommendations Please

    Reloading Scales - Two Decimal Points. I'm looking at getting into reloading my 270 and want to buy a set of digital scales which are accurate to two decimal points. What is available and what is your recommendation? KERR

    Ummm, no expert, but I think the consensus is that +- 0.1grain is fine.
    It's the OCD in us that makes us worry about such things.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    Just put on 110gr Barnes and 60gr 2213sc. See that big stag over there that looked like it got struck by lightning.

    Greetings @KERR,
    There are many things that go into the accuracy delivered by a rifle and it's ammo. Exact powder charges are unlikely to produce any measurable effect, especially in a hunting rifle. If you are new to handloading a mentor to guide you along the way would likely produce better results.
