Also had to add 2.8 grains of solder to my cal weight to get the scale to read +/-0.02 grains. 2k for a scale is way outa my league.

@LuvBorderCollies 5 лет назад

I have one just like in the video from Amazon. My results were the same with inconsistency. Plus it was super sensitive to moving air, even my normal breathing would rattle it. Its okay for finding which cartridges don't have powder in them and simple non-critical stuff. I'm not a heavy breather either.

I think it's a perfect $7.99 scale. You got exactly what you expected. I'm more interested in high value for the money scales. I still use a beam balance for most loads. Yes it's slow as dirt but I can see +/- 1 stick of powder resolution. I do however want a decent electronic scale so I weigh water volume on fired brass. That's a pain to do on a beam balance. Problem is identifying the right scale that will really be .1 grain resolution without busting the bank.

Hi Gavin Can you please run this test on the gempro 20 ($20 milligram scale) and the far higher priced gempro 300?

Also, in the test, can you test how well these scale recognise small incremental changes such happens when you trickle powder charges in. Ie weigh 25gr. Then add a 0.1gr weight and see the weight change.

@j.c.lepley1881 5 лет назад

I have two of these, for 5 bucks each and found them great for scooping within one grain and trickling in with a Redding balance that will resolve one kernel of R7. Gets me close. The cheap scale rounds up at the .5 grain up and down. Does a great job for getting close to a trickle load. The cheap one does best with a good battery. I used calibrated weights to figure out the average. Works for me the way I use it. It tares and zeros immediately and requires that but takes no time to accomplish. Drift happens. Mine works great with proper battery and the way I use it. I use the power pan at 104 grains for the start of each measure. Using this and a balance I can do a precision charge in under 45 seconds average for 20 rounds.

A couple years back I bought a "precision" scale, can't remember the name right now, it was like $160 and in went to the hundreds for measuring. Within 2 days it made me so angry with all its changing number, I bought a Sartorius by the end of the 2nd day and never looked back. That is one frustration that no longer exists in my reloading. I always recommend buying the best scale you can afford, it will take a lot of frustration out of your life if you are into precision shooting.... I could not watch but just a little over half the video, my blood pressure was rising... Look at the medical bills a good scale can save...

@noceursan 5 лет назад

One thing with the cheep scales that you should be aware of is that they take a while to "settle" the weight. So if you leave the powder pan on the scale until you see a "black dot" (on left hand side I think it was) you will probably get a little better results. Still it is a cheep scale so there will "probably" be some drift. Would be nice to see if leaving the power on the scale until it "settles" will improve the results or not.

@quinton1661 23 дня назад

For these cheap scales the best thing to do is tare it yourself. Weigh the pan a few times, then write down the tare value and subtract that from the actual measurements. It's more of a pain, but once you get the hang of it it drastically improves repeatability. The problem is that the 0 point is drifting, so doing it manually ensures that you can re-zero the scale after each weight.

@Chris-ob8ok 3 года назад

I have a few cheap scales in the $40 range as well as the hornady autocharger that do the same thing as this cheap scale, its maddening.

The fx120i holds the exact same zero, time after time. I love it. It was worth every penny to me.

@EagleEyeShooting 5 лет назад

*CONSISTANCY* matters more than the scales "accuracy" for us handloaders Example: One can perform a ladder charge and record an accuracy node on a certain charge using a particular cheaper scale. Though the A&D scale may show it .1 gr off. It's irrelevant if the other scale can consistently weigh a charge. Many of us use the WAOW scale from Amazon. Try that scale out🤙 great demo This brings of the question? Does 1 granular or .005 gr make a difference in accuracy? I have yet to see actual results. I constantly get replies to get a high end scale. But the folks that use the auto trickler are just dumping charges in the .1gr scale. Sooo I need definite answers in why one should invest on a high end scale?. Does .005 grain or one stick of granules make that much of a difference?

However, it it would have been nice if you would have verified the individual load weights on your expensive scale as many times as you did on the cheepie, just to expose the drift (if any) on your high buck unit. Also, in all fairness to the “cheepie”, you should have aloud the cheepie to settle a second or so longer between re checks.

It would've been nice if the test consisted of repeatability but with delayed times to simulate the actual reloading process. This would allow the scale more time to show errors not caused by memory.

@abeleski 4 года назад

Why did you get the 500gram version? They also sell 0.001 scales and they come in ranges 0-100g, 0-200g, 0-500g. And I mean grams not grains. I would have thought the best one to get would be the 0-100g rather than 500g, Also would have gone for the 0.001 rather than 0.01. Lots of them on youtube and only a couple of dollars more. NOt saying they would be better, hell probably just as bad but just saying if i was to pick one that would have been my first choice as the cheapest one to go for. As somebody said below, even if it performed well, it not a good choice for shooting as it is only 0.01g max resolution.

Bro can you help me with a scale for under $20 i need it for yea yea bro look out for me

I think that the market crowd that this scale is made for is selling 8 balls and dime bags on the corner in the hood.

@normski262 2 года назад

I have one and yep, its junk, regards reloading weighs. Try the Truweigh Marksman Digital Reloading Scale. That is supposed to very good, considering the price of course! 9mm loads 124gr bullet coming out 1 min at 4gr next 3, gr and then jumped to 6 grain, thought I was losing the plot. but no it's the scales!

have you tried the lee one?

@johnparrish9215 5 лет назад

@@colsoncustoms8994 Yep, and the RCBS Automatic one with the built in scale. Damn thing cost me $300, and clogs up!!! I love what 800X does for my 10mm and 45 Super, but man what a pain to use, you just can't go fast at all.

@colsoncustoms8994 5 лет назад

@@johnparrish9215 have you tried Longshot or Power Pistol? Longshot does really well through my lee perfect powder measure for 9mm and is is a slower powder. No idea about the power pistol but in 9mm it gives some very high velocities, not sure if that translates to 45 super or 10mm. Lilgun is another powder that meters really well. It's closer to a large grain ball, but kind of flattened. It's quite a bit slower.

@johnparrish9215 5 лет назад

@@colsoncustoms8994 Yes, I've used Longshot and it does pretty good. It's just that somehow 800x runs as much as 100 fps faster at the same pressures. In my 10mm I can push a 200 grain bullet (speer) at 1300 fps with no drama at all.

I can't bring myself to use a digital scale. I always trust a beam scale! Mine is over 50 years old. My dad reloaded with it! In all fairness though it didn't look like you always waited for it to stop, before you set the pan on again!

a bird once told me if they complain about weight install a fan above your desk. turn the fan on before the scale and use a Dyson, you dont want choppy air. and then re weigh the booger sugar in front of em..... ooo it looks to be heavy ! then take some out. they will never bitch about weight ever again. the best part is they always come back hahahah but as a refined gentlemen i would never partake in such activity's.

@Blackmark52 3 года назад

I got here searching coffee scales. But I'm surprised that the scale is as close to its claimed specs as it is. That thing would be completely adequate for those who just want to know a gram is closer to a gram than it isn't.

@onpoint357 2 года назад

To be fair on the cheapie, the instructions manual does say "...a close distance to other electronic equipment can cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale."

@jimkoonce6574 5 лет назад

@adamsnieg 5 лет назад

Scale with 0.01gram certainty isn't good enough for reloading regardless how precisely it works 1gr. Is .0648 gram. So if compare 10th of grain you shoud have scale with .001 gram certainty.

@Ultimatereloader 5 лет назад
