Yes.I would worry less about being able to weigh 100 grains consistently when I am loading max charge loads and my scale being able to weigh 5 grains consistently.

I still have my PACT, I kept it as a demonstration piece for people who thinkI bounced my PACT off the tile floor in the kitchen and into the trash can many years ago. It was a very long time (A decade?) before I tried another digital scale.
I probably didn't allow it to warm up enough, or keep it away from outside influences, and simply lost patience. Or not, but I did get mad and destroyed it. *Sigh* Don't do that these days.
I did this (Sort of) yesterday, but used a sticky note and eyeballed the 1/4" by 1/4". It weighed .10 every time except the first, when it showed .11. Used a pair of hemostats to take it on and off.Out of curiosity, could you weigh some 1/4"x1/4" 20 lb copy paper pieces on the Gempro 250? I am curious if it will detect one piece and what it weighs (if you need precise measurements, use the calipers).
Same for me except I have the GemPro 300 which must be the next evolution of the 250. So far, it is spot on with my 10-10 beam scale.Coming from someone who has a fascination with scales and have far more than I would like to admit, for digital, one of my favorites is the GemPro 250. It matters where it comes from. I would NOT purchase it through Amazon. The only place I trust for scales is Old Will Knott Scales. They have great customer service and stand behind what they sell. This said, I still would not be without my balance beam and my check weight set.
Frankford Arsenal Platinum is the best under $100 according to ratings at Midway and Amazon. I have one I and I can't find a single thing wrong with it. It calibrates with (2) 50 gm weights and I check it with a 20 and 30 gm weight, it always hits both accurately. I throw a bunch of powder and check it when I'm finished, always right on the money. I wish I could say the same thing for my RCBS Uniflow.
Over 100 bucks I have no idea what scale I would buy. I'm sure there are some good ones out there but for my needs (4-25 grains) I don't need a $250 scale. I have other reloading challenges that could use the $150.
Agree 100%If you're running an appropriate charge weight for your rifle and bullet, you just don't need extreme precision in your powder measuring equipment.
