Grams are common everywhere else, as might be expected.I wonder if the rest of the reloading world are forced to use imperial units?

Look into digital scales instead. Also digital calipers for cartridge OAL and neck thickness.I know that, but my balances are only measuring in grams
I am looking at their website. Funny, they forgot to indicate units in their reloading data tables.If you use Shooters World Powders it's made by Lovex and Lovex load data in grams is on the Shooters World web site.

Well said! This metric system focus can be downright dangerous at times.Also, don't forget, powder is measured in GRAINS - not GRAMS.
Fantastic. I am printing this manual.
old eyes don't help either!Lots of great advice given in this thread but I personally feel the biggest problem for most shooters can't be fixed by fancy equipment. Trigger time is usually our weakest link in accuracy. Unless you are shooting thousands of rounds a year or doing dry fire practice a couple days a week.
I don't reload just to improve accuracy. I enjoy it. It isn't really cheaper because you just shoot more which leads to more trigger time which you rightfully suggest is important too. So reloading helps me to get more bullets (thousands per year) down range.Lots of great advice given in this thread but I personally feel the biggest problem for most shooters can't be fixed by fancy equipment.

Yep. What ever it takes to get 'em to single digit SD. Neck tension, powder, drop, primers and case uniformity. Then there is run out and jump...FWIW, chronos I've used say that a good powder drop with the right powder can produce really consistent velocities. In the end that's probably the main thing.

Actually many European Reloading References are in metric not imperial measurements.You should be fine with a lab scale. The tolerance of .002 grams converts to .031 grains. Most reloading beams scale tolerance are .1 grains. Again, make sure you don't get confused with untis. Everyone will list weights in grains. Books will use grains.

Just make sure you write down every load because trying to work up a load using the ladder method is going to require different powder weights.
I've heard of people who load to maximum use lab scales because of the precision.
