Most accurate scale in the $300-400 range?

There are apparently magnetic force restoration scales available for $400 now. It would be nice to see a review of it that did a proper scientific test like the one in the link. One where they weight a known check weight over and over again.

Sartorius bought Acculab, that is the same scale as the Acculab scale mentioned earlier.

.02 gr won't make a difference. .2 gr might. My little experiment above shows that the RCBS scale will drift and will show that you have 46.0 gr but when weighed on a better scale the 46.0 is really anywhere from .08 to .2 gr heavier.

When reloading for long range shooting I like to take out as many variables as I can (or that I can stand to take out) I don't batch my cases by volume, only by case weight. I have 2400 Lapua cases, so batching by volume would be a career. I guess the other thing is that I have the tools (scale) to weigh charges this close, so why not? It it the same reason I use Redding dies and competition seater dies. No reason I couldn't use LEE dies but I find the Redding dies make more concentric ammo.

Maybe one of the most important things about this whole exercise is that mentally, my ammo it better than yours. Not saying it is, but in my mind it is. It's all part of the mental preparation of shooting, knowing that you have done everything you can to make the best ammo for the match.

That's why I started my post by saying I'm not going to tell you what to do.:) Consistancy is important for sure, all I'm saying is the second digit past the decimal is really just there to make you feel good as far as ammo goes.

People used to shoot really well with a balance beam before affordable digital scales came along. And the thought of cutting kernels didn't even occur to them.;)
