Dillon D-Terminator Electronic scale Vs. RCBS Rangemaster 2000 Electronic scale Vs. RCBS 5-0-5 Part2

[@tymz-r-achangin]

I have tried a few different high-end digital scales. They worked consistently accurate upon purchasing and until several months thereafter. I could care less, and rightfully so, about the scale being off a few hundredths from the target weight, but they started showing bigger and bigger variances and so I went back to my tested and proven accurate Ohaus/RCBS Dial-O-Grain double beam scale

[@Crymeriver]

I could agree but I never went back to the electric style because it’s not that accurate compared to the beam scale

[@TLaneyful]

Try using a rubber pad under your digital scales. This will help with vibrations.

[@R50_J0]

One count off at the calibration point is not a problem.

[@nebraskaman8247]

How’s that Dillon scale holding up? Would you buy it again?

[@Crymeriver]

It’s okay I have used it twice so far but I mainly use the beam scale since I have used a beam scale for so long. I don’t have to rest the beam scale at all compared to the electronic ones and watch out for zero drift in between loads. I would not buy it because of the way it drifts

[@4xprops457]

I’ve had my deal in scale just like that one brand new, and it can drift up to. .08 so I don’t trust it anymore.

[@Loader138]

People. Please. Don't do this to yourself. Nothing is exact. There is error in everything! You will NEVER duplicate exact readings hour from hour, day to day. This is obsessive behavior that solves nothing!

[@flinch9748]

i’m kinda lost on buying a good digital scale for reloading accurate 9mm and .38 Spl WC cartridges. Is the Dillon a good scale for accurate measuring loads between 3 and 6 grain?

[@Crymeriver]

As long as your zero is the same what ever it shows negative number is the same when you check your load out. -150.5 shows up before you put the pan back on it should be the same, I we’ll finish part 3 this weekend

The new Hornady G3 is getting very good reviews

[@flinch9748]

Thanks gentlemen.

[@boricuaarecibo9259]

I have that dillon scale I went to the range today with my reloads 7/31/22 My .308 recipe said 40 gr of imr 3031 Will yield a velocity of 2544fps My highest was 2948 fps my lowest was 2564 and my std. Dev. Was 106 I hand loaded these rounds and weighed every round I notice my dillon scale drifting like this. Now I know why my velocity was so high.

[@wrxs1781]

The scales you are testing are budget consumer items with 99.9% accuracy, if both scales were a 100% the same I would be very surprised. If you feel the accuracy is not good enough for your reloading buy expensive lab equipment. The most important reloading factor is the weight of your cases which will determine powder volume.

[@Crymeriver]

Very true it’s case volume that makes the difference also finding the right burn rate to get that cartridge to be consistent with the chamber spacing thanks for comments to help out with new buyers I only did this cause there is hardly any reviews on the Dillon scale

[@Sheepie87]

Too much background noise whoever that is should stop banging and clanging that metal around

[@Crymeriver]

Lol oh okay

[@firearmconvention946]

Lol , maybe your weight 0.001 off 🤷‍♂️, have a 2nd 100 gr to confirm

[@Crymeriver]

Nope just the weight that came with the scales

[@firearmconvention946]

@@Crymeriver ok, maybe its off 🤷‍♂️

[@Crymeriver]

@@firearmconvention946 it turns out my rcbs 5-0-5 had more consistent loads over the chronograph kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmiraoKoi5uriLc

Why in the hell are you wearing those stupid gloves? You're not even going to get your hands dirty from doing this video.

[@Crymeriver]

I just like wearing them sorry if it hurts your feelings.

[@larrrs3]

If you want to get to a measurement of a frog's hair on his ass I have a Cahn electro balance that weighs out to 0.0001 gram. You have to wear gloves because it can weight your fingerprints. You can drive yourself crazy. It's a problem when you spend too many years in an analytical laboratory.
