Hello,
I have a Frankford Arsenal digital scale, and I am a bit suspicious that it might throw a charge maybe .1 to .3 grains higher than expected..
Measuring 8gr of Unique for the 45 colt, with a 260gr bullet and a 4-5/8 barrel gives me 875fps.. A bit faster than I thought..
So, is there a common item that weighs around 10 grains and can be used as a tare weight?
For example, how much does a CCI large pistol primer weigh? Are they always consistent to .1gr?
Anything else I could use to proof my scale without having to buy a second one?
Thanks!
