Electric Powder Scale
« on: April 29, 2005, 10:01:19 AM »
I've had a Pact scale since they first came out.  I bought it in Grand Prairie before they were on sale to the general public.  I knocked it off the reloading table today; it's always been a good one.  It's time for me to get a new one.  In your opinions what's the best on on the market today.  I'll send this one back to Pact, but in the mean time I want a new one, THE BEST.  Money is no object, as long as it's less than $150.

Go to there web site www.pact.com they will fix the old one probably at no cost. You can buy one direct cheaper than any where else, and they pay the freight. "money is no object" !!!!

Wow Paul,

What is that.  Please describe, I'm kind of a weight freak.  I use a Lyman 1200 then re weigh all on an Ohaus beam scale.  Looking for something really accurate.

Thanks
Rick

Mailed my scale back to Pact today.  They want $140 for a new one or they will fix my broke one for $40.  That sounds fair since I'd had it for ten years and broke it through no fault of theirs.

Rick,

Without a default to let me know when a reply comes in, I forget to look!

That balance/scale is a Mettler H80 electric/mechanical balance.  It is considered to be an analytical scale and that type was used in laboratories for a long time.  It is capable of accuracy of .0001 grams, if I can ever get one will all of its parts intact.  This one got here today and has 1 mirror missing.  That means I am going to have to try to rob a mirror from another balance or send it back.

When they are functioning with all their parts, there is very little to go wrong with them and they don't have the problems the electronic scales have with wandering zero.

I have a couple of projects that I felt needed a little more accuracy than what an Ohaus 505 or Dillon D Terminator would produce.  

The average reloader wouldn't ever need this kind of accuracy and it would take forever to load a box of shells using it!
