Sartorius® - AY412 - Precision Balance. Anybody using one??

Just ran across this online and it says .01 grain accuracy. Anybody heard of these

Sartorius are very accurate

Sartorius are very accurate

I was thinking of using my chargemaster and double checking with the satorius. Or maybe just using a powder trickler...

We use them where I work. They're pretty dead nuts

When they say 0.01g repeatability. Isn't the 'g' supposed to be an abbreviation for grams ?

That's still pretty good. According to Google 0.01 grams = 0.154323584 grain (Google Search 0.01 gram to grain)

Dunno about the AY412... but a GD503 + Lee PPM + Omega two-speed trickler is faster over the long run for me than a Chargemaster. For short batches like load testing i.e. 5-10 each of different charge weights - the advantage might swing the other way slightly, but for loading a couple hundred of one known good load... the Sartorius wins hands down. I heard the GD503 was being discontinued; hopefully the AY412 will be a suitable replacement.

.15 gr is less stated accuracy than the .1 gr stated accuracy of the Chargemaster.
