I was looking at some electronic scales made by OHAUS and they give measurements in grams. For reloading purposes, I need grains. Right? Would I be able to use a scale that reads grams? Also how is the OHAUS electronic scales?

Not quite. It would be difficult for lower loads like 8gr of Unique. If you are loading heavy loads for a 300RUM, its possible if the scale can read like 100th of a gram. I have tried this myself. Didn' t work out well. I have heard of this brand but never tried.

Ohaus is a very reputable scale company. They make balance beams for many of the major reloading companys. However please don' t buy their gram scale for reloading.....Make sure you get a scale that is calibrated in grains......Actially I still prefer a balance beam scale....they just work well for me.

I have a set of the RCBS Powder Pro digital scales, made by Pact. they have both gram and grain readings and so far have worked great. I still keep a set of beam scales on hand just in case tho.

Thanks guys, I will pass on fooling around with converting grams to grains. I will hold out until I find something better.

Who makes the best scale for the money, I' m just getting into loading rifle and pistol ammo, looking for assistance

Last year I was looking into electronic scales cause its easier on my eyes. But I couldn' t find one that would incriment as fast as I would trickle. They all was very sensitive to wind, or even a washing machine going in the next room. When I was trickling powder, it would take a second or two to update. I came to the conclustion after sending them all back, that I can still do it faster on a beam scale and they update real time. I even tried the powder dispenser from RCBS, and found it way too slow. I can still throw a load faster than that thing dispenses.
