[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 570500, member: 27328"] Plus or minus one grain of powder should be sufficient, I would think. But, some grains of powder are bigger than others. Then there is the "relative bigness" of cylindrical, ball and flake grains. When the moon is overhead, the gravitational pull may cause a change in the scale reading, just as it causes a rise in the tides. Tides are for real, so moon pull compensation should get your attention as well. Is your scale moon pull compensated??? Turn off all fans when using a balance scale. Air currents even affect digital scales. Ditto for vibrations. And barometric pressure changes. And scale pointer parallax error. And earth spin centrifugal forces depending if you live on the equator or nearer the spin axis such as Anchorage, Alaska. [/QUOTE]
