Ohaus Dial-o-gram triple beam scale $45

[Jim Barber]

Fancy, fully functional Ohaus triple-beam dial-o-gram scale, weighs up to 2,610 grams (yes, it weighs in GRAMS, not grains! Fair warning) That's about 5 lbs.
However, I've been using it for several years to weigh powder charges and it's extremely accurate, even at the low end of the scale used for powder and Minies. The "dial" part makes it pretty easy to adjust. In the pic, I've got it zeroed for that grubby looking musket tube. I'll even include the grubby tube in the deal, and an equally grubby grains-to-grams conversion chart I printed off the internets.
Because it's a precision instrument and I don't have the original protective packing materials, just the box, I'd rather not ship it. Will be at the Early Bird this weekend, Spring Nationals or any of the MW region skirmishes.

I have one and these are the chit! If you want consistent accuracy on your loads you need this!

Pat,

It really is a nice scale--I've been through a few cheap electronic scales which worked OK until they didn't, kept coming back to the old Ohaus. I recently picked up an RCBS beam scale, which while accurate, is slower to level and, as I'm discovering (just loaded my carbine rounds for Early Bird) more prone to fluctuation with drafts, ceiling fans, breathing... than the Ohaus. Truth of the matter is, I'm a slob and got tired of hunting through piles of paperwork so I could find my grains-to-grams conversion chart every time I loaded something with the Ohaus.

Tip on using a battery-operated scale (and maybe some of the much more expensive 110V models, too?): turn it off between uses. If you weigh every 10th charge or bullet, shut it off between readings. The cheap, presumably Chinese, electronics overheat. First it goes haywire and gives false readings until you set it aside to cool off. Repeatedly overheating eventually kills it. Hell, I didn't know! I've killed 2 of them, the 3rd is sketchy. By contrast, ***shameless marketing plug*** my Ohaus Dial-o-Gram scale requires no electricity!
