I am thinking about getting a Hornaday G3 scale. YouTube reviews look good but until I use it I don't know if it will do exactly what I want it to do.
I want to be able to scoop (or throw) a load of powder in a pan. Put the pan on the scale and confirm that it is between two numbers, then pour it in the case. I am using light loads so it needs to be able handle very small weights within a couple tenths of a grain.
I bought a cheap little digital scale recently that worked pretty well with larger weights. It came with a standard weight to use for calibration. I can put it on the scale and get a correct reading. I can take it off the scale, wait a second or two and put the standard weight back on and get the same weight every time. If I put a small load on, like a pan with 4.3 grains of power in it, and take it on and off the scale I can get a different weight every time. All I want is a scale that, when given a 4.3 grain load of powder, will never read above 4.4 and never below 4.2. That seems simple but if you buy something that you think is a a good product you don't really know until you use it. This seems to be the case whether the product is expensive or cheap. I don't mind spending a little money but I want to be able to do it only once.
Does any one have a recommendation?
