The beam was in the up position thankfully, but I slightly bent the hash marks.
After cursing myself, I straightened the piece of metal with the hash marks. I then reset the scale and adjusted it to zero level.
Unfortunately I dont have any check weights. A dime is supposed to weigh 35 grains so I weighed one and it came out EXACTLY 35.0 grains. I then weighed a 240 grain Magtech .429 bullet and it came up EXACTLY 240.0 grains. I am thinking I am good to go to weigh 4.8 grain charges for my reloading project, but I am doing .38 spl and and the starting charge is 4.7 grains not to exceed 5.0 grains Unique under a 158 grain HP.
Any common items in the 5-10 grain range I can use as a check weight? I think I am good to go, but sheesh 4.7 not to exceed 5.0 isnt very forgiving.
