[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1356068, member: 94549"] I just finished with the fancy powder scale. A grain of Retumbo weighs .034 grains, I was able to get the weight to 68.410 as the high and 68.402 as the low. So a difference of .008 grains, that required cutting a kernel in half. [B]59 Degrees 5 shots in order: ES of 19 fps and SD of 6.88[/B] Brand new jug of powder, I fired all in 2 minutes 2923 FPS 2904 FPS 2918 FPS 2916 FPS 2908 FPS I was hoping for single digits but it just didn't happen. I would say if you can do this with the Gem Pro or other scales, there is no need for this high dollar one. I am looking forward to trying this with a powder and bullet combination that was not so touchy during the whole process. I have a new scope coming in for this gun and will get it dialed in before my rifle deer hunt coming up. I am still looking forward to getting some bullets down range and see how it does, just waiting for that new scope. [B][/B] [/QUOTE]
