Going all in over calibration weigth is nonsence as these calibration weights are not realy that accurate to start of , unless you have a tested lab scale to check you have no way of knowing what gives , also resolution having lots of digits , does not mean scale can acualy accurately measure down to so many digits.
I wonder why the gempro 300 does not have a "line mode" like the gempro 250 for more accurate readings.I really like the new style of the gempro 300,especially the angled display and the sloped base so powder can not get under it.The cheapest I hve found the gempro 300 is 133.00 here in the states.
I take from all of this and other videos I have seen that it is a good idea to have a quality beam scale to check with... Still looking for a reliable scale and find myself leaning towards paying a bit more for charge master or an equivalent... Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks for the video.
The Gempro 300 I reviewed has a accuracy to +/-0.02gn or grains, same as the GP250 specs. Which is one kernel of Varget. Is looks like the GP300 has been refreshed with a newer GP300 II version which I hadn't taken a detail look at yet but looks to be the same +/-0.001 gram or +/-0.02 grains.

From a professional standpoint: Look at the money you spent and all your time wasted. I bought and evaluated a Gempro 250. The cheapest piece of Chinese junk I ever wasted my time on. Glue a string on it and use it for a cat toy. It will make the cat happier than anyone trying to suffer through getting it to work well. Probably 12 bucks in total with slave labor mfg costs. If you really care about precision get an A&D scale. I bought 3. Two for fast averages and an FX300i for even more precision. Time is money! Get an A&D you'll never be sorry!
Don't be ridiculous! I got one and been using for 2-3 years and it's very accurate! I made ammo that had extreme spread of 7 fps across 5 shots with it from a revolver with cast bullets! It's better than 99% of the scales out there for measuring powder charges. Not everyone can afford to buy a thousand dollar scale and more important is you absolutely don't need that kind of precision level for powder charges, you can actually spend money on 20 different things to improve accuracy that will have greater effect and won't cost nearly as much. Oh and for a lot of people time is NOT money.
There's an old saying, "Spend your money once." The video shows 3 scales that would have cost $800+. Why not buy one lab grade scale like my AD FX-300i. You save money and results are perfect. Quality isn't expensive it's priceless. I manufactured a run of 275 gr copper jacketed bullets using the Red China gempro and the whole run was 5 grains out of of spec. Cost me about 2 grand. Straight to the trash. The AD FX300i is only $750. Do the math. Also AD makes a unit at $280 that blows away this communist china junk. But I will concede your point that if you believe your time has no value. My points are mute carry on...............
First of all yes, you are right, if you are in business, than yes, time is money. You had that in your earlier comment, I was speaking from reloading point of view, sorry. 1) The 3 scales he has are about $400, not $800, also one of his scales is part of RCBS Chargemaster, so technically he only has one extra scale that he can sell or keep as backup 2) I don't understand is: just because your bullets were 5 grain out of spec, why are they trash? Were they all off by 5 grains? If that was the case mark them as such and sell them accordingly. 3) I assume you didn't verified the weight with another scale, since even 20 dollar scales are capable of accurate 0.1 grain measurements, I would probably keep a non electronic beam scale as backup 4) Why would you need such precision in bullet weight? I've seen brand name bullets that vary in weight all the time as much as half a grain, you could have easily got away with RCBS beam scale. While I do appreciate quality products I just don't see why you would need lab grade scale, you're not weighting diamonds. For me even $130 dollars spend on scale was more than I wanted to spend. In my precision reloading having powder measured down to .02 grain does not necessary produce more accurate rounds. There are other factors like how far are you seating bullet from the lands, there are tools that can be purchased to measure that that will improve accuracy more than $750 dollars spend on lab grade scale. Heck for this kind of money you can purchase a new gun that will shoot more accurately.

I bought my 250 from the states, sent it off for warranty to Vancouver office. Way less time than three months lol

It can misure well drop by drop true?

i want to buy one scale pl send me detail capacity and price
Hello does the gempro 300 read accuracy at 0.01g please ? can someone help me thanks in advance.

Which one do you think is better? I have a 250 now, which is failing. This is the second one that's failed so I'm looking to replace it with the 300.
I would not recommend either but would look at probably spending better money on a lab quality scale down the road. The 300 is twitchy as well.
Just curious, how is it failing and how long have you had it?
Dima Prok it was about 6 months. I have a video of it. ruclips.net/video/oxRvNhX7ixc/видео.html
Because when i see the specifications i see 0.001g only and its not good for me.

Touching the table, talking and breathing on those scales creates deviations. Bad review protocol.

Hi.
Which A&D scale priced at $280 do you believe is superior to the GemPro scales?
