Default RE: Powder Measuring Accuracy?

ORIGINAL: statjunk


After figuring it out I was able to get it to within about 1gr. Is this going to be good enough? Do I need to get a 3 Beam scale?

Yes, I insist in always have a beam scale. You want to measure your loads on something accurate to .1gr IMO. I have seen too many reloaders come back from the range shooting fine and all the sudden brass locks up in thier gun to find out their digital scale gets out of wack because the wife fires up the dryer, or a hairdryer or any other electromagnetic appliance in the house.Very dangerous.

Now if you are talking powder thrower, I just can't get any of them to throw accurately unless its ball powder. And I generally don't use ball unless I loading pistols.
