[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2166008, member: 3230"] They may display only to the nearest .1 grain, but I am quite sure they round to the nearest .1 grain. Using an A&D it is rare to get 78.50 grains of powder; it might be 78.48 and you add one kernal and get 78.54. Using an inexpensive scale, it would read 78.5 in both cases, but in the case of the 78.48 load it might stay at 78.4 before going to 78.5. Likewise, the 78.54 load might show 78.6 but then go to 78.5. At the end of the day, if your rifle is going to suddenly shoot larger groups with a .1 charge difference, it probably isn't as accurate as you think. As Doom2 points out, there are other things like neck tension which isn't as easy to control that have significant impacts. [/QUOTE]
