[QUOTE="WRG, post: 324274, member: 13638"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I think we're splitting hairs here! [/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=black]The way I see it is if my CM 1500 can repeat ably throw a charge of the same weight "it reads" that I have tested for accuracy for any one of my rifles then it's just as accurate as any 10/10 scale regardless if the beam scale will show what the charge actually weighs.
