    How accurate are your beam scales?

    So I decided to test my Hornady Model M beam scales. I got them second hand and was wondering how accurate they are (it looks they were bought in 1992).

    The short story is they're accurate to ±0.15gr and are reading ~0.08gr over (this won't matter provided I use the same scales all the time).


    Is more accuracy required than this and in what circumstances?

    For those interested 20 charges consisting of 2 different weights were measured to 0.0001g. And one kernel of 2213sc is 0.03gr.
