Ok, since my brain seems to be too tired to remember, what is ES?How does a better scale decrease ES?
ES: Extreme Spread. The extreme difference between high and low velocity in a batch of handload.Ok, since my brain seems to be too tired to remember, what is ES?
Ok thanks.ES: Extreme Spread. The extreme difference between high and low velocity in a batch of handload.
I'm curious what kind of measurement accuracy the V4 scale gets that reduces ES.
Thats the root of my question. Most scales go to +/-0.1gn and many shooters get very low ES from those scales, I suspect there are other things that affect ES than just minor variations in charge weight.the unit says it goes to 0.001g so maybe it's just that much more precise. Though I myself don't see how going that next digit down will help much.
I realized the scale says g not gr so that would make it ~0.015gr and yeah I'd have to agree that there might be something else.Thats the root of my question.

If you still have the old unit and it's failing to calibrate correctly, you can send it in and they'll repair or replace it, normally for free.For g it is .001 for gr it is .01. Coming from a chargemaster Ive had for 10-15 years there is a definite difference .1 vs .01. I loaded some load work up for a buddies .300wm and my 28N, and I would say my chargemaster was about .2 gr low. Ok fair enough. But out of 20 loads I found 3 or 4 that were well outside of -.2 what my old chargemaster claimed. Granted I like RCBS, but I trust clinical scales that are rated higher a lot more. I look forward to seeing more data and will update.
I found it, the V4 instruction manual says its accurate within +/-0.02gn charge weight.I realized the scale says g not gr so that would make it ~0.015gr and yeah I'd have to agree that there might be something else.
No it calibrated fine. What I found was the factory check weights to be a little light. Both measuring ~49g when they were supposed to be 50. Which would calibrate it lower… at least that's what makes sense in my head.If you still have the old unit and it's failing to calibrate correctly, you can send it in and they'll repair or replace it, normally for free.
If that's the case, you should be able to get the weights replaced if they're not correct.No it calibrated fine. What I found was the factory check weights to be a little light.

I've been throwing Retumbo, H1000, and Reloader 22 so far with it, and for me it seems a bit faster. Just had to adjust the setting accordingly of course. My only issue is the recommendation to unbalance the scale to get the desired flow rates. I opted to shim the rear. So far haven't had any issues. As for the weights I popped the top off and added weight till they came out to exactly 50g. Then sold it to a buddy with full disclosure.I've had one for almost a year and absolutely love it.
Takes longer to get powder dumped than my RCBS ChargeMaster, but more accurate and that's what I was looking for.
