They have several different ones. I check the feedback and go with the crowd.
Look for one that has the tare function so you can eliminate cup weight.

too funny, we used that same exact one in the archery shop

it is accurate, until you start reading in grains, due to the plus or minus being in grams, it is off by 1.5+ grains

nothing major, until you start messing with field arrows and need them all within a grain.....

thanks....

Jero, forgot to add that the KD 7000 also has an ac adapter. I think it was several dollars more but beats changing batteries. CF :D

if you need them within a grain... you could use a powder scale for reloading, not sure where that would fit in sausage making though :dont:
