What scale do you use to weigh your pellets?

[Biagio26]

Hi guys

just like to know, what scale you guys use to weigh your pellets, and why you use that particular scale, and where did you buy it from.

thank you very much for any help and advice

I use this one and it seems to do ok when I weigh the same pellet more than once it weighs the same. And the reviews were good for it? It weighs in grams, ozs, and grains and maybe a couple others?

I used to weigh pellets to use in matches but eventually decided it was not worth continuing. That said try it for yourself. I learned some things and it was not a waste of my time. One of the things I learned was my old RBCS was more accurate than my fancy digital scale. You could see the most minute differences in weight with the balance beam scale where as the digital scale rounded measurements off.

I have that same scale and I also use a pellet gage for sizing. I find that doing both reduces the group size for me. YMMV

I also think nothing is better than a balance beam scale. And if your really crazy you use a digital scale then you sort the pellets again on your balance beam scale. I think rolling pellets on a mirror aka piece of glass may mean more than weighing? And none of this really fits my shooting its just that I wanted to test what these things really do?

the Gempro 250 has kind of been settled on as the digital scale to use by the people who are serious about sorting their pellets

Hi Strever

I have heard good things about the Gempro scales. I have a friends that like that scale.

I bet that is one of the best scales out there, to weigh pellets.

Thanks guys

there are more expensive digital scales that are many times more accurate
BUT
the Gempro 250 is a reasonable priced scale that will repeat
i have a transformer on mine so i don't worry about batteries

 

[Biagio26]

Cool, thanks for the advice. 

That's not a bad idea, to have a transformer on it.

Thanks

oh by the way, do you wash and lube your pellets? I don't for the simple reason, why would you do that?

just a question

 

[Strever]

wash no

I also use that scale and it works great. That and pelletgage have worked well for me. Can't beat the price either. I've tried more expensive scales and they've not done as well as that one.
