While searching for reloading supplies on Ebay I came across a cheap digital scale that would give weight in grains. All the ones I had seen before only weighed grams. Anyway, it was $20 including shipping so I decided I’d take a chance on it.
It came in the mail last Saturday. Took it to the loading bench and tried it out. Put 160gr Sierra Match King bullet on it, read right on at 160 grains. Still not satisfied I brought it to work with me this morning and took it to the lab to compare it with their high dollar laboratory grade digital scale. The $20 scale read the same as the lab one right down to the tenth of a grain.
It has a tare function so you can zero it with your powder pan. It will also read out in grams, ounces and carats.
The only drawback I can see is that it has an auto-off battery saver function and it shuts itself after one minute of idle time and the tare weight clears when it shuts off.
The brand name is “Neva”, there are a couple of sellers stocking them. In fact after I used the “Buy it now” option I found one for less than I paid.
