Hey guys, today I bought a set of digital scales. I have a set of the RCBS 5-0-5 scales but have been curious about digital's. I didn't really want to shell out alot of money and find that Im not using the digitals, so I was in the hunting store today and they had a cheap set( I know, you get what you pay for) the name is " US Balance " I have played with them all evening and they weight every charge to within around average 2 tenths of a grain. They aren't listed accurate but to 1 grain or error but as I check each charge weighed on the beam it is within 2 tenths and most right on the money. These scales cost 35.00 . It allows me to trickle on the powder while it sets on the scales and feedsback quickly. For hunting accuracy how much will 2 tenths of a grain in error show in my groups? Thanks

2 tenths really shouldnt show any real difference, but it also depends on the caliber and the range you are shooting at.

I bought a "cheaper" digital off e-bay and have found it to be more than sufficient for reloading from 7mm Rem. Mag. to .22 Hornet. I'm sure the expensive ones are good, but I don't think they are worth the extra $150.00. Just my experience...JDinAB

2/10 of a grain don't mean a thing to a large capacity case.......243 or larger
