[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 2165800, member: 97905"] Several mentioned it already but beam scales are extremely precise if your eye is precise. The key is to make sure you're looking at the needle from the same position every time to avoid parallax effect. I used to have mine set up where I would rest my head on a very specific spot when looking at it so that every charge I looked at the scale the same way. Works really good. Another option (and what I'm doing now) is to look for an old analytical balance from a university lab or something. Ohaus has been making digital display analytical balances (accuracy to .001 grams) for decades, and you can sometimes find one on ebay for well within your price range. I have picked up a couple that were built in the 80s and they work great, I use one and a friend of mine the other. Keep in mind these will not come with "grains" as a unit, so you'll have to do a little math and program a custom unit, all of which I'm happy to help with if you go that route. [/QUOTE]
