[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 1985853, member: 97905"] Many have mentioned the FX scale, and of course the old beam scales are great and very precise just slower. The biggest thing on a beam scale is make sure your head is in the same place every time you look at the needle it so you don't have the parallax effect throwing you off from charge to charge. What I ended up doing is picked up an old (like 30 years old) Ohaus analytical balance from a university lab on ebay. You can find them on ebay usually for $200ish working and for like $50 if you know how to fix one up. I defined a custom unit in mine with a conversion from grams to grains and it has a 0.01 grain resolution. It does drift a little after several charges, but nothing like the gempro, which I also tried. I would avoid gempro big time, the one I had drifted so much every single charge that it was completely useless. The used analytical balance I have works far far better. Someday, I'll have an autotrickler and FX scale though. If you've got the money, I'd go that route for sure. [/QUOTE]
