Re: DIGITAL POWDER SCALE RECOMMENDATIONS
The older Lyman DPS were built rock solid. These days most scales are pocket small size.
I bought about 2 years back maybe 3. A Peregrine Scale. And it measures to 0.02grains. Pretty impressive. As it picks up 1 to 2 corns of S335. As a 0.02 variance.
But I also bought just after that a Hornady Auto Dispenser. And mostly using it. As its not as sensitive as peregrine. But its fast and the rifle ammunition shoots accurrate.

Re: DIGITAL POWDER SCALE RECOMMENDATIONS
A lot of the electronic scales read out much finer readings than they can reliably measure. To test it, trickle a charge, then remove the pan and replace it. Repeat. Also, trickle a charge, then transfer the powder to a different container and replace the pan. Once it has re-zeroed, throw the powder back on. Repeat.
Some scales give the exact same reading every time, some jump around a bit or even a lot.

Re: DIGITAL POWDER SCALE RECOMMENDATIONS
A huge shout-out to Alliwyn & Co at Peregrine - specifically Annie - who far outshine any of their narcoleptic competitors, when it came to sourcing and obtaining the scale I was looking for. Your communications skills and efficiency are exemplary.
It's not the first time that I've done pleasurable business with this company and definitely not the last either.
I will still use my beam scale, but this little scale will now do everything else that the beam sucks at.

Re: DIGITAL POWDER SCALE RECOMMENDATIONS
Hi Guys,
Depending on the price of the peregrine scale (accurate to 0.02gr)
There is some DoubleAlpha scales floating around in SA; which is 0.05gr accurate. (imported from the Netherlands)
- Theoretically the peregrine would be more accurate, but at what cost ?
I saw the doublealpha ones go for a reasonable price of ~R1400.00

Then you might as well go for the Gemini 20 scale. Cheaper and goes to 0.02gr precision. As to accuracy, not sure. Mine is repeatable and agreee with all my other scales.

this works great, sensitive, 2 decimal and does not cost arm and leg like other lab scales
NHB150:
Capacity: 150g x 0.001g
Plate size: 80mm diameter
