I brought a set of those the other week, they are great for weighing out my weed and speed party2 :cool2: zzzzom
They seem to be ok, just need to get some calibration weights to check how accurate they are, if they are way out then no matter at that price as I will just use them for weighing out my BBQ spice rubs instead.
And from the Lee site; "Calibrated with weights certified traceable to the United States Bureau of Standards.
This is the only scale that can never get out of adjustment. The beam is made from a very tough phenolic, the same type material used on table and counter tops. Phenolic is tough but, like glass, it can't be bent. Even if dropped you can feel confident that if it did not break it is still accurate. Sensitive and readable to 1/20 grain."
The detractors will come along in a second. But really, they are just embarrassed they spent far too much money on kit that works only as well and no way better, than my Lee.....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
I've tried many of these cheap electronic scales and cheap is what they are. In my experience they do not hold calibration well and wander. accurate to + - .5grain. May be good for drug dealers but not good enough for weighing powder charges. I have a set of the newer MTM electronic scales (£35 from the NSRA) and they seem to wander after a few minutes and do'nt seem to hold calibration either. Only good enough to batch weigh cases/loaded rounds in my opinion.
Buy a good beam balance from RCBS or REDDING and some check weights, they are mechanical there fore no electronics to get upset.
I have been using a set of RCBS 5-0-5 Scales/beam balance for the last 25 years and consider it money well spent. They hold calibration and there are no batteries to go flat.
The lectric scales I found on amazon also have a calibration 50 gram weight for a few quid....frequently bought together....plus tiny plastic bags for you know what, but we wont go there.
Its a tool to do a job.
