[QUOTE="Bigaldepr, post: 1572589, member: 102210"] I use the Tesso TJS-20 Precision jewelry scale from Amazon for $30. It is very accurate and repeatable. I load to +/- 0.02 grains which is essentially one stick of H1000. The cup is too small so I use the cup from a bottle of Nyquil. I put the 10 gram weight on the scale it reads 154.32 grains every time, perfect. It is temperature sensitive and the zero does drift after several minutes, usually only once, but a tare and its back to 154.32 grains with the check weight. Always check to make sure to start with a 0.00 before weighing. The zero also drifts and the reading becomes unstable when the battery gets low. Trash the cheap Chinese batteries, just put in Duracell. They are extremely sensitive and easily damaged if over ranged or the spindle gets dirty. But for $30 it is not a big deal to replace. The screen update rate is slow and when your are near your target weight you need to stop and let it stabilize. [/QUOTE]
