Hornady 050106 G2-1500 Electronic Powder Scale 1500 Grain Capacity, RED

This is a nice compact and accurate scale. There are many out there twice or way more expensive, but for the hunter or steel shooter this is a great value.The reading is fast and does not drift, the unit does not take up a large footprint. Now, like any other scale, you don't want a fan or ax blowing directly on the unit, if placed on a flat surface it reads as accurate as my RCBS beam scale.In the end, I am reloading and shooting sub half Moa with my 260 using this scale. I am very happy with its performance.

Love this scale. Been using a 10-10 rcbs for 40 yrs, always afraid of electronic scales. Well, this scale is great. Follow the directions and warm it up, use your check weights, every reloader should have a set of check weights. It takes a little bit of learning curve but I trust it implicity now. I hardly ever use my beam scale any more. For peace of mind you should have check weights.

I have owned this scale for a number of months now ad I have to report that it work very well as a powder scale (using grains).he tare holds well, even with frequent removal of the pan from the balance and back again and it gives good repeatability.Some reviewers have given big downchecks due to drifting - this has not been a problem and I believe that it is not a problem because I took a clue from precision laboratory balances - which I have had a LOT of practice. When you are weighing very small amounts (< 2 grams) to high precision (>0.1 gram) air currents will cause apparent drift. This is easily solved; the aforementioned laboratory balances (cost in $1000s) enclose the pan and have access via sliding doors. I purchased an inexpensive box: mDesign Art Supplies, Crafts, Crayons and Sewing Organizer - Small, 3" Tall, Clear for $9.00 PRIME and keep the balance inside of it. When I need to weigh I open the lid, flip up the balance lid and leave the unit inside of the box. I do my reloading in the basement but I have had no problems with drift/air currents. When done I flip the lid down, put the pan on top of the lid and close the box - keeping dust and dirt out of the balance.

In order for the scale to work it has to be on a level surface be sure that no breeze can get to it. keep it away from the cell phones and don’t even breathe on it when you’re using. It is that sensitive I love the scale. I have nothing bad to say about it, after I learned how to use it. in order for the scale to work it has to be on a level surface be sure to no breeze can get it. keep it away from the cell phones and don’t even breathe on it when using.

Great precision and works flawlessly... Comes with a 10 grams weight for calibration, a quality metal scoop for the powder and a set of AAA batteries. This electronic scale is really precise and really helps when comes the time to ammo reloading. Love it, really awesome for the price!

It's probably a great little scale. And I really like the size, materials, and battery! But I found it impossible to appreciate when I saw the display showing it capable of weighing down to the thousandth of a gram. That's just bizarre and tbh kinda insulting! The 0.001g is literally not possible for $20 and sure enough it was fluctuating quite a bit. These are, in fact, not accurate enough to weigh a fraction of one powder pellet but thats ok! I didnt expect my $20 to do that. To put this into perspective, in my analytical chemistry courses we had a table top scale (about $1k, the ones with a glass door to keep airflow to a minimum) that only went down to 0.001g. Fractional weights were their bread and butter! Other than that weirdness it weighs fine if you ignore the last couple vanity numbers. The lid clicks down easy and it's transparent so you can find it in case it's just sitting on a table top. Turns on fast and doesn't have too long of a warm up period either.

Set it up away from electronics. I've had no issues while operating away from phone, laptop, anything running. Seems to notice even light trickles of WST (a pretty fine powder, not exactly dust, but a little like sand). Consistently scooped to the same level in a small powder scoop and got predictable reads. Watch fans and windows as well as the stability of the work bench or table! Oh, don't neglect that 3 minute warm up and calibration deal, either. A fine scale, will update when it gives out.

Works well, little on the small side. But for me b fine. Gets used EVERY TIME I reload, always gotta check stuff when reloading !

PRODUIT PRECIS

Es muy malo. No repite nada la media. Se mueve el cero.No sirve para nada

Buena calidad llegó pronto

This is a very easy scale to use. I have compared different powder loads weighed on this scale to an old fashion scale, and have found it to always be within .01 grains of accuracy. Very easy to calibrate, and takes up minimal space.
