[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 3819931, member: 14195"] I've had a Cabela's scale for several years, and always have been a bit skeptical of it. Seems I'm always having to tare it after weighing something. The other day I weighted a batch of .45-70 cast bullets to throw out the off weight ones. After each bullet, was removed the scale would nearly always go back to 0.2 and I'd have to tare it. So I'm always wondering, is the error on the bullet, or on the empty pan. In this case 0.2 grains is only a 0.04% error, so I'm not too concerned about that. But say 6 grains of TiteGroup in a 9mm. Now it's a 3.3% error, which could be important if loading max loads. 6 grains is a bit below max, but a 0.2 grain error would make it max. So am I worrying about nothing, and just keep hitting the tare button? [/QUOTE]
