[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 581748, member: 9215"] "My issue is when I put on 50 grains of my test weights, it doesn't measure 50 grains " So, how far off is it? That matters if it's a lot but doesn't matter if it's a little. Absolute accuracy matters in a test lab when things are moving around and being weighed on different scales. Lab scales cost hundreds of dollars (+) and require professional routine maintainance/calibration to insure their continued high accuracy. Reloaders normally develop charges with one scale and stick with it. That way we can reproduce any load at a later time so it matters not if it's off a few tenths, we can still duplicate it with high precision. There are no adjustments that allow us to 'tune' a beam scale. All the little weights under the screwcover in the pan hanger does is get the beam leveled enough we can zero it with the adjustable foot. [/QUOTE]
