[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1402110, member: 97196"] Yep. I put that straw in the day I set it up. You are right that it will normally measure within 0.1gr and be fine if you have found a nice node for that particular load. If I need it to be more precise (for instance when ladder testing) I set it light and add single kernels until it displays the desired weight. Most powder require 4-6 kernels for each 0.1gr. When the chargemaster stops on the desired weight I find it generally take 2-4 kernels to the next 0.1gr on the scale display so it varies a few kernels between loads even when displaying the correct weight. Close enough most of the time but if you have a little OCD, as I sometimes do, and are compelled to get as close as possible... [/QUOTE]
