    Try here, its quite good at looking for things for you, you may have heard others talk about it

    p.s. 0.6 = 9.26 grains, so your scales arent accurate enough by the looks of it

    I think you need to weigh to a greater degree of accuracy, the new digital scales can go to 0.01 grain with an accuracy of about 0.35%. Theres a good deal on the "For Sale" section at the mo.

    0.1 gram isn't accurate enough, you need 0.1 grain or 0.01 gram.

    put in the grams and it gives grains....

    and as above you do really need the .01 grams...
    your going to be a max .04 of a gram out.

    0.6 = 9.26
    0.64 = 9.88

    @ 750fps thats

    750 x 750 x 9.26 / 450240 = 11.57
    750 x 750 x 9.88 / 450240 = 12.34

    i paid £10 for my scales from usa on **** accurate to 0.01 grams i will soon be ordering 0.01 grains scale. bit more expensive but the accurate to 0.001 grams.

    Hi Riggers,
    These are the ones I am doing the deal on.
    http://ukscales.com/shop/product_inf...products_id=99

    0.01gn accuracy, i.e. should measure 8.43, 8.44,8.45 etc.

    My current set only does 0.1gn and I can't get better than 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 etc

    35 orders of them moment at about £31 each delivered, if we can get 50 orders then it will be £30 or below

    Cheers

    Sorry but oh yes I can!

    These first 2 are the ones I already have and they only do 0.1gn accuracy!!!
    i.e. you can only measure pellets to 0.1 grain, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5, not good enough!

    They are good for counting pellets though, put a film canister on the scale press the tare button and then count 10 pellets into it, multiply by 10 and then pour pellets in till the desired weight comes up. 100 pellets counted!!

    Can't do that on the new ones as there is a 10 grame limit.

    The ones in the deal are 10 time more accurate!!!
    i.e. they will measure the difference between 8.43, 8.44 and 8.45 QED.

    Thats why I am changing mine and buying them and setting up the deal.

    The 3rd you list is exactly the ones in the deal, and from the same supplier! My price for delivery is £31 or less, depending on numbers, DELIVERED.

    Saving £8.43 or more. So I have beaten the deal! and this is being done for the BBS members as a no profit deal!!!!!!!!!

    If you are going to buy the same scales you are welcome to join the list of 36 BBS members who can see the bargain, or you can pay more and have them direct.

    Cheers

    By the way, the Pellet Scales bulk order is now at 37, only 13 short of the 50 discount, would make it below £30 each easily.

    And that's the delivered to your house price too
