I have a scale I bought a few years back and I cannot find the book for it.
It's model 050106 and I can't get an accurate weight with it for powder. My problem is my eyes are
too old to read all the types of weights it will weigh. gn, oz, ect.
I want to measure grains and I have calibrated it and zeroed it, but when I use my balance beam scales
to check it, it's way off. I have a Hornady and RCBS balance beam. I'm kinda disappointed, I thought the
electronic was going to be the best.

Coop, is it similar to this one?
It's hard to tell which setting it is on.
If so put a Nickel on it and change the settings til it reads 76.8, or close then you should be on grains.
Most nickels weigh 5 grams which would be in the neighborhood of 76+ grains.

Can tell you from my experience that a cell phone laying on the bench or close to the scale will play havoc with it.

JEbar, that path is to your hard drive.

Here is the file attached to the forum

Mags thanks for fixing it

Many thanks guys. It now seems I have a hundred rounds of 357 that have too little powder.
My bullet puller is broken so I ordered a new one. Should be here this week.
My electronic scale is now working correctly. I replaced the batteries and calibrated it.
funny thing is neither my RCBS or Hornady bar scale are working correctly now.

BTW, that manual was very helpful.

It's that polar vortex thing.
