[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2631661, member: 108576"] I like cowboy's idea. I found this on another site: I've had this note in my reloading notes for quite some time. Might help. ~~~~~~~~ In the absence of certified check weights, you can use US coins to verify accuracy on your powder scale. Each nickel weighs 5 grams. That converts to 77.16 grains. Pennies weigh 2.5 grams, or 38.58 grains. Easy calculations, and you can zero your scale very accuratly using coins. I would recommend the newest, best condition ones you can find. My RCBS 5-0-5 scale weighs one nickel at exactly 77 grains, and two nickles at 155.1 grains, which is only .78 grain off true weight. Close enough I think. Again this is not my idea.It was on Alaska Outdoors Supersite [/QUOTE]
