[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1152565, member: 25383"] when I first got my RCBS electronic scale, I was kind of wanting to know just how accurate it was. I took it into work and checked it against a $10K lab grade scale. Then took it into a temp controlled room where all the scales are checked. Same results. I saw roughly .002 error. Then when I got the new one I did the same test with the same results. We used quite a few Ohaus 304 scales out on the work floor to calibrate balancers, and used them in the tool room to make bob weights for balancing gas turbine wheels. All sorts of odd ball numbers were called out (you've never seen or heard anything like a gas turbine wheel set exploding!) These scales were checked with the one in the lab every three months, and the same thing in the tool room. We switched over to the Pact scales in the tool room and never regretted it. I personally cannot see all that much advantage is weighing powder to .005 grain. The case volume will vary more than .05 grain in volume. I know the vast majority of us are perfectionist, but there's little we can do to control volume. Yet I suppose that if we only used one case and just kept reloading it that would be important. gary [/QUOTE]
